Connect LinkedIn Ads

On Connect platforms, press Connect LinkedIn, sign in with the LinkedIn user that can see your ad accounts and approve read-only reporting access; every ad account that user can see then syncs hourly.

Connect LinkedIn

1. Open Connect platforms
   In Pacing Console, open Connect platforms and find Step 3, LinkedIn Ads. You need to be an owner or editor.
2. Press Connect LinkedIn
   You are taken to LinkedIn. Sign in with the LinkedIn user that can see your ad accounts, and approve read-only reporting access.
3. Check the connection
   Back in Pacing Console you see "LinkedIn connected. Spend appears within a minute." The card shows how many ad accounts are connected.
4. Give each campaign a budget
   On the Pacing page, press Add budget on each LinkedIn campaign under Spending, no budget yet. LinkedIn campaigns added this way start with Runs on set to Weekdays; choose All days if they run every day.
5. Sync, disconnect or reconnect
   Sync now pulls the latest spend straight away. Disconnect deletes the stored access and stops the sync. Reconnect signs in again, for example after LinkedIn access expires.

If the card says Coming soon

Until the LinkedIn connection is switched on for your workspace, enter spend by hand:

1. On the Pacing page, press Add campaign, choose the Channel, enter the name and Monthly budget, and press Save.
2. Open the campaign again. Under Spend this month, fill in Enter spend to date manually from LinkedIn Campaign Manager, and Pulled at.
3. Press Save. Pace is measured at the hour you entered.

Good to know

• LinkedIn counts days in UTC, so a LinkedIn day ends at 7 pm Eastern in winter.
• Access is read-only. Pacing Console never creates or changes LinkedIn ads; one-click budget changes are for Google Ads and Microsoft Ads only.
• You can also revoke access in LinkedIn under Settings, Data privacy, Permitted services.
