Watch out for

LinkedIn requires a specific OAuth2 flow for posting, so you must register an app in their developer portal and handle token refreshes manually.
X API v2 has strict rate limits on post creation, so add error handling to retry failed requests or queue them for later processing.
Google Apps Script has a 6-minute execution timeout, so split the workflow into separate functions if the AI generation takes too long.
Platform terms of service may prohibit fully automated posting without human review, so consider adding a manual approval step in the spreadsheet.
