Troubleshooting

Common LinkedIn Ads connector issues

Quick fixes for the most common LinkedIn Ads + Data Studio connection problems

IssueSolution
My LinkedIn data stopped updatingRe-authenticate your connection in Porter. LinkedIn OAuth tokens expire periodically; a fresh login usually restores sync within one refresh cycle.
I see zero impressions or clicks in Data StudioVerify your LinkedIn ad account has active campaigns and that you selected the correct account during setup. Viewer-level permissions cannot pull performance data.
Cost numbers look wrong or mismatchedCheck that your Data Studio date range matches LinkedIn Campaign Manager. Currency is reported in your account’s local currency by default.
Calculated metrics like CTR show as nullEnsure both numerator (Clicks) and denominator (Impressions) are added to your Data Studio report. Porter calculates these automatically when both fields are present.
Audience dimensions like Job Title are missingAudience breakdowns require campaign-level reporting. Switch from account-level to campaign-level granularity in your connector settings.
Connection fails during OAuthUse a LinkedIn account with Campaign Manager or Account Manager role. Admin or Viewer roles do not have sufficient API permissions for reporting.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can I connect LinkedIn Ads directly to Data Studio without a third-party connector?
No. Google Data Studio does not offer a native LinkedIn Ads connector. You need a third-party connector like Porter Metrics to pull LinkedIn Campaign Manager data into Data Studio.
What LinkedIn permissions do I need for reporting?
You need Account Manager or Campaign Manager access in LinkedIn Campaign Manager. Viewer or Admin roles do not have the API permissions required to extract performance metrics.
How often does the data refresh?
Porter syncs LinkedIn Ads data hourly. Once your dashboard is built, metrics update automatically without manual CSV exports.
Can I combine LinkedIn Ads data with other platforms?
Yes. Use Data Studio’s native data blending or Porter’s cross-channel templates to merge LinkedIn Ads with Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Google Analytics 4.
Do you support LinkedIn Company Pages or only LinkedIn Ads?
This connector is built for LinkedIn Ads and Campaign Manager. Company Page analytics require a separate data source.
Is white-label reporting included?
Yes. Remove Porter branding and apply your agency logo, colors, and custom domains for client-facing reports at no extra cost.
How much historical data can I import?
Porter backfills unlimited historical data from the day you connect. There is no 90-day lookback limit.
What happens if my LinkedIn connection breaks?
Re-authenticate your LinkedIn account in Porter. Check that your user still has Campaign Manager permissions and that your trial or subscription is active.
