Claravine + LinkedIn Ads Campaign Manager

Claravine integrates with LinkedIn Campaign Manager to solve the problem of sprawling advertising data complicated by siloed teams and tools, enabling you to deliver and measure your campaigns. Our platform, The Data Standards Cloud, supports inbound sync of ad accounts, campaigns, ad sets, and ad data from LinkedIn, making it easy to:

• Automate the import of data
• Accelerate data entry and custom tracking URL building
• Audit and validate data against marketing data standards
• Automatically apply Data Standards to naming conventions in LinkedIn Campaign Manager
• Pass data downstream for more readable classifications
• Enrich data for improved dimensionality and segmentation in analysis

Once the connector is set up, The Data Standards Cloud automatically syncs and imports specified data from LinkedIn Campaign Manager and maps this into the appropriate fields in your template(s). From there, you can take a few approaches depending on what your team is looking to accomplish.

You can automatically apply updates to naming conventions in LinkedIn Campaign Manager and pass data directly to your analytics and BI tools so you can more immediately understand performance in these systems. And, you can enrich this data with additional business-specific metadata before sending it downstream.

You can also create and validate data across various team workflows. For example, generate naming conventions in our platform. Then, set up campaigns in LinkedIn Campaign Manager and import this data to validate compliance and add business-specific data from the naming convention workflow. At the same time, associate data together for use across workflows, or pass it to your downstream solutions. This type of approach helps you improve naming compliance while simultaneously putting more accurate, detailed data in the hands of your media and creative teams, and adding important dimensionality to your final analysis in other systems.

• Connect Claravine and LinkedIn Campaign Manager

  Note that you must have a LinkedIn Campaign Manager account set up with at least one active ad account to configure a LinkedIn Ads connector. Only Administrators can create connected accounts and assign them to templates. To connect The Data Standards Cloud to LinkedIn Campaign Manager:

  1. Confirm that you are logged into LinkedIn Campaign Manager with the appropriate account with access to your marketing campaigns.
  2. Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Accounts.
     The Accounts page displays.
  3. Click Add in the upper-right corner.
     The Create Connected Account screen displays.
     

      

     

      

      

  4. Enter the following information for the account:
     • Account Name (example: Claravine LinkedIn Ads Account)
     • Description (optional). We recommend entering a description to make it easier to identify the use of the Account when creating targets.
  5. Select the LinkedIn Ads tile as the account type.
  6. Click Connect Account.
  7. Sign in to your LinkedIn account when prompted to authorize Claravine access to the requested LinkedIn Campaign Manager account.
     

      

     

      

      

  8. Grant the requested permissions and return to Claravine.
  9. Click Save.

  Note: The feature flag for the LinkedIn Ads integration must be enabled at the account level before the connector will appear. Contact your Claravine representative if you do not see the LinkedIn Ads tile.

• LinkedIn Campaign Manager Fields Available for Integration

  The integration allows specific fields in LinkedIn Campaign Manager to automatically import data into a connected template. Below is a list of supported fields and attributes you can map data from in LinkedIn Campaign Manager.

  Note on campaign hierarchy: As of October 2025, LinkedIn updated its campaign hierarchy in Campaign Manager. The new hierarchy — Ad Accounts, Campaigns, Ad Sets, and Ads — is reflected in Claravine when setting up the connector. The table below uses the current LinkedIn nomenclature.

  URL Tracking Parameters and Destination URLs

  Claravine does not currently support the ingestion or write-back of URL tracking parameters and destination URLs. However, LinkedIn Campaign Manager provides several ways to manage URL tracking natively, which you can use alongside your Claravine workflow:

  • At the Ad Level — Destination URL: When creating or editing an ad, enter your landing page URL directly in the Destination URL field. You can append LinkedIn dynamic macros (for example, {CAMPAIGN_NAME}, {CAMPAIGN_ID}, {CREATIVE_ID}, {AD_ID}) directly in this field. LinkedIn replaces macros dynamically when a user clicks the ad.
  • At the Campaign or Account Level — Tracking Templates: Navigate to Campaign → Settings → URL Tracking (sometimes listed under "Advanced Options") to define a tracking template that automatically appends macros to all ads in that campaign or account. Any ad within the campaign inherits this template, so you do not need to modify each ad's URL individually.
  • Supported Macros: LinkedIn provides a list of supported macros in Campaign Manager under Help → LinkedIn Ads Macros.

  Tip: If your campaigns use macros applied at the campaign or account level, you typically do not need to manage UTMs in the Claravine ingestion process — LinkedIn fills in the values dynamically at click time.
