Pulling LinkedIn Ads data into a single, automatically refreshing dashboard beats logging into the platform every time you need a performance update. Connect Klipfolio to your LinkedIn Ads account and get real-time visibility into your campaigns, without the manual exports.

How to connect LinkedIn Ads to Klipfolio

LinkedIn Ads connects via OAuth. The steps below use the pre-built data source path, which is the fastest way to get started.

  1. In the left navigation sidebar, click the 3-dot menu beside Data Sources and select + New data source.
  2. On the Where is your data? page, select LinkedIn Ads.
  3. Choose a pre-built data source from the Choose a pre-built or custom connection page, or click Create a custom LinkedIn Ads data source if you need a specific dataset.
  4. Click Connect an account (first-time users) and enter your LinkedIn credentials. Click Allow Access to authorize Klipfolio, then click Continue. If you've connected before, select your existing connection from the drop-down and click Continue.
  5. Select your Campaign Name from the drop-down on the Configure your data source page.
  6. Click Get data, review the results, then click Continue.
  7. Name your data source, set a refresh schedule, and click Save.

Your data source is now live in your Data Source Library and ready to power custom Klips.

Note: LinkedIn Ads uses a versioned API that updates monthly. When building custom queries, confirm the API version header is set to Header type. Learn more about LinkedIn's versioned API.

Top reasons to use Klipfolio for LinkedIn Ads dashboards

  • See all campaigns in one place. Pull every campaign's performance into a single dashboard so you can compare metrics side-by-side without switching between views.

  • Combine LinkedIn Ads with your other channels. Merge LinkedIn Ads data with Google Analytics 4, Salesforce, and 130+ other connectors to track your full advertising funnel in one dashboard.

  • Set thresholds and indicators. Flag when Cost-per-Click (CPC), Conversions, or Click-Through Rate (CTR) cross a threshold, so you catch performance shifts before they become problems.

  • Share data without sharing account access. Distribute dashboards via public links, scheduled PDF reports, or embedded views, with no need to adjust LinkedIn account roles or permissions.

  • Automate client reporting. Schedule PDF exports or live dashboard links so clients get up-to-date performance data without waiting on a manual report.
