Connect LinkedIn

Who this is for

Anyone who wants to run LinkedIn ads. You'll need admin or campaign manager access to a LinkedIn Campaign Manager account linked to a LinkedIn Page.

Before you begin

• A LinkedIn Page for your business (not a personal profile)
• A LinkedIn Campaign Manager account connected to that page — create one at linkedin.com/campaignmanager
• At minimum Campaign Manager role on the account (Account Manager or higher is recommended)
• A payment method added to LinkedIn Campaign Manager

How to connect

1. From the top navigation, go to Brands.
2. Under Connected accounts, find LinkedIn and click Connect.
3. A LinkedIn authorization window will open. Log in with the LinkedIn account that has access to your Campaign Manager.
4. Review the permissions requested and click Allow to grant access.
5. You'll be redirected back. Select the Campaign Manager account you want to connect from the dropdown, then click Confirm.
6. Select the LinkedIn Page to associate with this account.

Common issues

I don't see my Campaign Manager account in the dropdown

The LinkedIn account you authorized must have access to the Campaign Manager account. Make sure you're logged in with the right LinkedIn profile and that your role on the account is at least Campaign Manager. You can check roles at linkedin.com/campaignmanager → Account settings → User management.

The authorization window closes but nothing connects

This is usually a browser pop-up blocker issue. Allow pop-ups for the domain in your browser settings and try again.

I need to connect a client's LinkedIn account

The client must either grant you Campaign Manager access in their account, or you can connect using their credentials. The recommended approach for agencies is to be added as a user directly in the client's Campaign Manager account, then connect using your own login.
