1- Connect your account
a. Get ready
Before you connect your LinkedIn Ads account to DashThis, please make sure you’re an account manager on the LinkedIn Advertising Accounts. If you’re not, we won’t be able to connect your data.
LinkedIn Ads documentation tells you how to add and remove administrators on the Company Page.
b. Add the integration to DashThis
Connecting DashThis to Linkedin Ads requires 2 clicks. Literally.
- In the Integration Manager, choose LinkedIn Ads and click on Add.
- You’re then redirected to LinkedIn. Allow DashThis to access your information and sign in as usual.
Your account now appears under the section Integrations in use in DashThis.
It’s a success!

3- Data history
The data history available for LinkedIn Ads depends on the time range you choose for your periodic dashboard.
If you choose a daily or a weekly scope, only 6 months of historical data will be retrieved. If you set a monthly, quarterly, or annual period, the regular 13-month default data history applies.
Please note that this limitation only applies to the periodic template.
