# LinkedIn Ads

LinkedIn Ads is a B2B advertising platform that lets you run sponsored content, lead gen forms, video ads, and more across LinkedIn's professional network. With Coupler.io, you can automatically export your LinkedIn Ads data — campaign performance, creatives, leads, and analytics — to any destination without writing a single line of code.

**Why connect LinkedIn Ads to Coupler.io?**

* Pull ad analytics by single or multiple dimensions (company, country, job title, placement, and more) into your reporting tool of choice
* Export sponsored leads directly from LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms into Google Sheets, a CRM, or a database
* Combine LinkedIn Ads data with other paid channels using Append or Join transformations for a unified view
* Send performance data to AI destinations like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for automated analysis and recommendations
* Keep your dashboards in Looker Studio, Power BI, or BigQuery refreshed on a schedule

**Before you start, make sure you have:**

* A LinkedIn account with access to at least one LinkedIn Ads account
* Admin or Analyst role on the ad account(s) you want to pull data from
* A Coupler.io account (free trial works)

## Quick start

{% hint style="success" %}
If you want campaign performance data, start with **Ad analytics by single dimension** — it's the most flexible report and covers most use cases right away.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Create a new data flow.** In Coupler.io, click **Add data flow** and search for **LinkedIn Ads** as your source.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Authenticate with LinkedIn.** Click **Sign in with LinkedIn** and authorize Coupler.io to access your LinkedIn Ads data. You'll be redirected back automatically after approval.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select your ad account(s).** Choose one or more ad accounts to pull data from. If you manage multiple accounts, you can select all of them — use Append mode to stack their data in one output.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Choose an entity.** Pick the data type you need — for example, **Ad analytics by single dimension** for performance metrics, or **Sponsored leads** for lead gen form submissions.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Configure your destination.** Choose where to send the data: Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, Looker Studio, or an AI destination like ChatGPT or Claude.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Run the data flow.** Click **Run** to execute a manual sync. Once it completes successfully, your data will appear in the destination.
