Please note: LinkedIn Ads accounts that are on hold cannot be connected to HubSpot. If a connected LinkedIn Ads account is put on hold, it will be disconnected from HubSpot. An error will show in HubSpot next to any LinkedIn Ads accounts on hold. Learn more about how to remove the hold status in LinkedIn's documentation.

Please note: if your LinkedIn ad account has any outstanding billing issues, or has otherwise been disabled by LinkedIn for a violation of their ad policies, HubSpot will mark the account as Inactive. To fix this issue, check your LinkedIn ad account settings and consult LinkedIn's support resources.

Any LinkedIn Ads accounts syncing leads will appear in the Ads Lead Syncing settings in HubSpot.

Please note:

  • After connecting your LinkedIn Ads account to HubSpot, your existing leads from LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms will automatically sync to HubSpot. HubSpot will use the email address to deduplicate contacts that already exist in your account and update their contact record with any new information from their Lead Gen Form submission, or create a new contact if they don't exist.
  • LinkedIn stores leads from lead ads for 90 days after creation. When you connect your LinkedIn Ads account to HubSpot, these leads will be synced to HubSpot, along with leads generated going forward.

Once your LinkedIn Ads account is connected, your can connect additional users so that they can manage and create campaigns for the account. You can also disconnect ad accounts from within your ads settings.
