LinkedIn Ads

This guide will walk you through the process of collecting the LinkedIn Ads data directly into Google Sheets. It provides access to advertiser information, campaigns, ad groups, ads, performance metrics, and custom audiences.

To initiate the data import process from LinkedIn Ads, begin by creating a copy of a LinkedIn Ads → Google Sheets Template

Once you have copied the template, proceed with the configuration steps:

  1. In your newly copied spreadsheet, navigate to the “Config” sheet and add the Account URN.

You can find your Account URN on the homepage of your LinkedIn Ads account:

LinkedIn Account URN

Copy and paste the URN into the appropriate field in the spreadsheet:

Account URN

Several common data fields are pre-selected by default. To include additional fields in your import, go to the “Fields” tab and check the boxes next to the desired fields.

LinkedIn Fields

Next, access the custom menu: OWOX → Manage Credentials.

LinkedIn Credentials

Enter your Access Token obtained by following this tutorial: How to obtain the credentials for the LinkedIn Ads connector.

Now you have two options for importing LinkedIn Ads data:

Choose OWOX → Import New Data to load data for the current day.

Facebook Import New Data

ℹ️ If you click Import New Data again after a successful initial load,
the connector will import: Current day’s data, plus Additional days, based on the value in the Reimport Lookback Window field.

Option 2: Manual Backfill for Specific Date Range

Section titled “Option 2: Manual Backfill for Specific Date Range”

Choose Manual Backfill to load historical data for a custom time range.

  1. Select the Start Date and End Date
  2. Click the Run Manual Backfill button

Facebook Run Backfill

The process is complete when the Log field shows the message:
“Import is finished”

Finally, your data will appear in new tabs labeled with the corresponding API endpoint types.

To import more data:

  1. Select the additional fields you need in the Fields tab.
  2. Go to OWOX → Import New Data or OWOX → Run Manual Backfill again.
  • Daily Schedule: To set up an automatic daily import, select “OWOX” > “Schedule” > “Set Daily Schedule”
  • Hourly Schedule: To configure an automatic hourly import, select “OWOX” > “Schedule” > “Set Hourly Schedule”
