08FAQFAQ
Before connecting, B2B marketers ask about Claude, several ad accounts, organic posts, Sponsored Messaging and conversions. The last three help when numbers don't match, a question fails or a change is blocked.
Can I use Porter in Claude too?
Yes. Porter's MCP URL, the same one behind the LinkedIn Ads connector for ChatGPT, also works in Claude as a custom connector, so one LinkedIn login serves both. See Porter's LinkedIn Ads connector for Claude for the Claude setup and what it covers.
Can I connect several LinkedIn ad accounts, say as an agency?
Yes, because one LinkedIn login brings every ad account it has a role on into Porter. Then ChatGPT compares them in one answer with Account Name as a column. Porter bills each ad account once it returns data, so an agency can start with a few clients and add more later.
Does the LinkedIn Ads connector include company page posts and followers?
Organic company page posts and followers come from Porter's LinkedIn Pages connector for ChatGPT, while the LinkedIn Ads connector covers paid campaigns. Both connect the same way, so they share one chat and ChatGPT puts organic and paid results side by side.
Can ChatGPT read Sponsored Messaging (InMail) results?
Yes, ChatGPT reads Sponsored Messaging results as Sends, Opens, Action Clicks and Ad Unit Clicks per campaign. Lead gen messages also add Lead Generation Mail Contact Info Shares, and ChatGPT gets open rate by dividing Opens by Sends.
Can ChatGPT read Insight Tag and Conversions API conversions?
Yes, ChatGPT reads Conversions, Post Click Conversions, Post View Conversions and Conversion Value In Local Currency by campaign. Conversions by conversion name cover the last 4 months and come without Spent, so you check cost per conversion action in Campaign Manager as usual.
Troubleshooting
Why don't ChatGPT's numbers match Campaign Manager?
ChatGPT's numbers can differ from Campaign Manager because audience breakdowns are approximate in both tools and today is a partial day. Over ranges longer than 6 months, LinkedIn rounds old daily data to whole months (LinkedIn's rounding of long date ranges), so totals can include extra days. Spent uses the account currency, while Cost In Usd is separate.
Why did a LinkedIn Ads question fail in ChatGPT?
Ask for one audience breakdown at a time per campaign, and the question goes through. LinkedIn refuses some query combinations, and Porter passes ChatGPT a general error without the reason. The refused combinations are two audience breakdowns at once, an audience breakdown with creatives, Reach by week, and conversion names with campaigns or Spent.
Why can't ChatGPT change my LinkedIn campaign?
Check that you're on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu, and ask your ad account admin for the Campaign Manager or Account Manager role. Viewer only reads, and Creative Manager edits ads rather than campaigns. If both are right, Porter hasn't enabled that ad account for changes yet, so LinkedIn answers "not configured to access the related advertiser account" without changing anything.
