LinkedIn Ads connector for Amazon AppFlow

LinkedIn Ads is an ad platform that helps organizations and brands to reach audiences throughout the user community of professionals on LinkedIn. If you use LinkedIn Ads, your account contains data about your ads and campaigns. You can use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from LinkedIn Ads to certain AWS services or other supported applications.

Amazon AppFlow support for LinkedIn Ads

Amazon AppFlow supports LinkedIn Ads as follows.

Supported as a data source?

Yes. You can use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from LinkedIn Ads.

Supported as a data destination?

No. You can't use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data to LinkedIn Ads.

Supported API version

Amazon AppFlow retrieves your LinkedIn Ads data by sending requests to version 202212 of the LinkedIn API.

Before you begin

To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from LinkedIn Ads to supported destinations, you must meet these requirements:

  • You have a LinkedIn account and a LinkedIn Page. For the steps to create a page, see Create a LinkedIn Page on LinkedIn Help.

  • In LinkedIn Developers, you've created an app, and you've configured it with the following settings:

    • The app is associated with your LinkedIn Page.

    • The app includes the Marketing Developer Platform product.

    • The app Auth settings have one or more redirect URLs for Amazon AppFlow.

      Redirect URLs have the following format:

      https://region.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth

      In this URL, region is the code for the AWS Region where you use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from LinkedIn Ads. For example, the code for the US East (N. Virginia) Region is us-east-1. For that Region, the URL is the following:

      https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth

      For the AWS Regions that Amazon AppFlow supports, and their codes, see Amazon AppFlow endpoints and quotas in the AWS General Reference.

  • From your LinkedIn account, you've created a LinkedIn Campaign Manager account, which you use to manage your ads on LinkedIn. For the steps to create an account, see Create an ad account in Campaign Manager as a new advertiser on LinkedIn Help.

From the Auth settings for your app, note the client ID and client secret. You provide these values to Amazon AppFlow when you connect to LinkedIn Ads.

Connecting Amazon AppFlow to LinkedIn Ads

To connect Amazon AppFlow to LinkedIn Ads, provide the client credentials from your LinkedIn Developers app so that Amazon AppFlow can access your data. If you haven't yet configured your LinkedIn account for Amazon AppFlow integration, see Before you begin.

To connect to LinkedIn Ads

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon AppFlow console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Connections.

  3. On the Manage connections page, for Connectors, choose LinkedIn Ads.

  4. Choose Create connection.

  5. In the Connect to LinkedIn Ads window, enter the following information:

    • Client ID – The client ID from the Auth settings of your LinkedIn Developers app.

    • Client secret – The client secret from the Auth settings of your LinkedIn Developers app.

  6. Optionally, under Data encryption, choose Customize encryption settings (advanced) if you want to encrypt your data with a customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

    By default, Amazon AppFlow encrypts your data with a KMS key that AWS creates, uses, and manages for you. Choose this option if you want to encrypt your data with your own KMS key instead.

    Amazon AppFlow always encrypts your data during transit and at rest. For more information, see Data protection in Amazon AppFlow.

    If you want to use a KMS key from the current AWS account, select this key under Choose an AWS KMS key. If you want to use a KMS key from a different AWS account, enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for that key.

  7. For Connection name, enter a name for your connection.

  8. Choose Continue.

  9. In the window that appears, sign in to your LinkedIn account, and grant access to Amazon AppFlow.

On the Manage connections page, your new connection appears in the Connections table. When you create a flow that uses LinkedIn Ads as the data source, you can select this connection.

Transferring data from LinkedIn Ads with a flow
