LinkedIn Ads
Add LinkedIn Ads to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
LinkedIn Ads is Campaign Manager, and it is a different integration from a LinkedIn page: the objects here are ad accounts, campaign groups, campaigns, creatives and the analytics behind them, not posts. Access is the first hurdle, since the advertising endpoints sit inside LinkedIn's Marketing Developer Platform and your application is reviewed before it may serve customers, so the permissions you end up with are negotiated long before any code is written. The reporting model is worth understanding early: analytics are requested with a pivot, by campaign, by creative, by member company or by job function, and the pivot decides both what comes back and how much of it, so a report designed without one becomes a great many calls. Matched audiences are pushed and hashed rather than read. Lead gen form responses have their own endpoint and are the part most products actually want. Everything is addressed by versioned URN and deprecates on a published schedule.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each customer authorise their own ad account, so spend and reporting stay with the advertiser who owns them.
Create and update campaign groups, campaigns and creatives from your product, budgets and schedules included.
Request analytics with the pivot your report actually needs, rather than paging everything and aggregating it yourself.
Pull lead gen form responses as they arrive, so a lead reaches a salesperson the same day it was submitted.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads campaign performance by pivot before suggesting where budget should move.
An agent pauses a campaign whose cost per lead has run away, within scoped permissions and logged.
An agent reports which lead gen forms produced leads this week and which produced none.
Example prompt
Which campaigns had cost per lead rise this week, and which job functions are the leads coming from?
Set up LinkedIn Ads in 4 steps
- 01Enable the LinkedIn Ads connector in your fastn dashboard, and get your application approved for the Marketing Developer Platform before you ship it.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own ad account, so spend and reporting stay with the advertiser who owns them.
- 03Decide which pivots your reporting uses, map the campaign and creative fields you write, and choose how lead gen responses are collected.
- 04Call it from your product and expose the same connection to your agents through the MCP gateway.
Why teams use the LinkedIn Ads integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a LinkedIn Ads integration without building it. Your customers connect their own LinkedIn Ads account inside your product and work their campaigns, segments and subscribers there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: engagement data arrives as a high-volume event stream, so ordering and deduplication matter. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a LinkedIn Ads update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed LinkedIn Ads connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you trigger and measure campaigns from inside your product without wiring it twice.

Zoho CRMLinkedIn Ads integration FAQ
How do I add a LinkedIn Ads integration to my product?
Enable the LinkedIn Ads connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own LinkedIn Ads account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no LinkedIn Ads client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own LinkedIn Ads account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own LinkedIn Ads account and only ever sees their own campaigns, segments and subscribers. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this LinkedIn Ads integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads campaign performance by pivot before suggesting where budget should move.
Who maintains the LinkedIn Ads integration?
fastn does. When LinkedIn Ads changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can I trigger a LinkedIn Ads campaign from an event in my product?
Yes. Product events can start a campaign, add a contact to a segment, or enrol someone in a journey, so lifecycle messaging follows what a user actually did rather than a nightly export.
Can I read engagement results back from LinkedIn Ads?
Yes. Results come back scoped per tenant, so your product can act on them without one customer's data mixing with another's. What you get depends on the channel: opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes where there are sends, and impressions, spend and conversions where there are campaigns.
What can I build with the LinkedIn Ads integration?
A common starting point: let each customer authorise their own ad account, so spend and reporting stay with the advertiser who owns them. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the LinkedIn Ads integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding LinkedIn Ads does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
