Connect one or more LinkedIn ad accounts and your LinkedIn ads show up in Upspring with the same AI analysis and performance data you use for your other ads. You can view LinkedIn on its own, or next to your other channels in the same report or dashboard.
What you need
Admin access on the LinkedIn ad account you want to connect.
Admin rights in Upspring. Only an admin can connect a data source. For everyone else the button is disabled.
Connect LinkedIn
1. Open Data Connections
Click the gear icon at the bottom left of the sidebar to open Settings, then go to Account → Data Connections, and find the LinkedIn card.
2. Sign in to LinkedIn and approve access
Click Connect on the LinkedIn card. You're sent to LinkedIn to sign in. Use the LinkedIn account that has Admin access on your ad account, and approve the permissions Upspring asks for.
3. Check your ad accounts
Back in Upspring, the LinkedIn card shows Connected and its button changes to Reconnect. Your connected ad accounts are listed under Settings → Space → Data Sources, in Ad Accounts (n). If an account is missing, an admin can click Sync Ad Accounts. There's no separate account selection step in Upspring.
4. Use LinkedIn in a report
Open a report and pick your LinkedIn accounts in the account picker (Search ad accounts...). It's a multi-select list, so you can add several accounts, including accounts from other channels.
Good to know
Connect as many ad accounts as you need. You can view each one separately or together in the same report.
Works next to your other channels. Put LinkedIn and Meta ads in the same report to compare them.
Dashboards. To add a LinkedIn account to a dashboard widget, open Widget settings → Ad accounts and click + Add account.
Troubleshooting
The Connect button is disabled
Only an admin can connect a data source. Ask an admin in your Upspring account to connect LinkedIn, or to give you admin rights.
My LinkedIn ad account isn't under Ad Accounts
The LinkedIn user you signed in with doesn't have access to it. Check that the user has Admin access on that ad account in LinkedIn Campaign Manager, then click Reconnect or Sync Ad Accounts.
