LinkedIn Ads
Connect usertrax with LinkedIn Campaign Manager to stream conversion events through the LinkedIn Conversions API.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- Active LinkedIn Campaign Manager ad account
- usertrax account with the tracking script installed
- Plan that includes automatic exports
Step 1: Enable enhanced conversion tracking
Section titled “Step 1: Enable enhanced conversion tracking”- In Campaign Manager, open your Insight Tag settings
- Enable Enhanced conversion tracking so LinkedIn appends
li_fat_idto landing page URLs - Keep the Insight Tag on your site if you already use it (usertrax only reads
li_fat_idfrom the URL, not cookies)
Step 2: Create a conversion rule
Section titled “Step 2: Create a conversion rule”- In Campaign Manager, create a new conversion rule
- Set the conversion method to Conversions API
- Note the conversion rule ID (from the rule URL or API response)
Step 3: Generate an access token
Section titled “Step 3: Generate an access token”Create or use a LinkedIn app token with the rw_conversions permission (and typically r_ads).
Step 4: Configure usertrax
Section titled “Step 4: Configure usertrax”- In the usertrax dashboard, go to Exports
- Create a new connection and select LinkedIn Ads
- Enter:
- Conversion Rule ID (numeric ID; a full URN is also accepted and normalized)
- Access Token
- Save — matching conversions are streamed automatically
Step 5: Test
Section titled “Step 5: Test”- Open your site with
?li_fat_id=...(or click a LinkedIn ad with enhanced tracking enabled) - Trigger a conversion
- Confirm the event in the usertrax dashboard and in Campaign Manager (reporting can lag)
Optional: open the LinkedIn connection and click Send now to re-export recent matching conversions.

Section titled “Troubleshooting”- No events in LinkedIn: confirm Enhanced conversion tracking is on and
li_fat_idappears on the conversion - Unauthorized errors: regenerate the access token with
rw_conversions - Wrong rule: check the Conversion Rule ID matches a rule with method Conversions API
