Connect your LinkedIn Ads account to HubSpot

Connect your LinkedIn Ads account to HubSpot to manage and analyze your LinkedIn ads in HubSpot's ads tool. Once connected, HubSpot will display and report on all existing ad campaigns in that account.

If you encounter any errors during the process, check out our troubleshooting guide.

Please note: to comply with LinkedIn's legal requirements, HubSpot only reports on the most recent year of your LinkedIn Ads account data.

LinkedIn Ads connection requirements

Necessary disclosure: your use of the LinkedIn Ads integration is subject to LinkedIn's terms and conditions. HubSpot will be able to view and manage your account, as well as store your LinkedIn Ads account number. When you authorize the integration, HubSpot receives a user token with permissions on the connected ad accounts and pages. HubSpot can view but does not store all the ad accounts and pages you have permissions for. LinkedIn will share settings details (e.g., name, budget, bid strategy, creative) and performance metrics (impressions, clicks, etc.) for all ad campaign groups, campaigns, and ads in the ad accounts you connected.
