The success of your LinkedIn ad strategy relies on your ability to track online and offline conversions. Good news, marketers: Our new LinkedIn Conversions integration is here, so you can automate, measure, and improve how your ads perform on LinkedIn.

We're also making it easier for you to get started with LinkedIn Conversions. Now, you can use Zapier to automate and track campaign performance. And because every conversion event matters, you won't be charged for Zap steps that use LinkedIn Conversions. (Seriously.)

With LinkedIn Conversions and Zapier, you can connect to thousands of apps to send online and offline data to LinkedIn. Get a more accurate picture of how your campaigns influence your prospects' behavior. 

Here's what you unlock with LinkedIn Conversions: 

  • Measure performance throughout the customer journey. See how your ads influence prospects to sign up for a newsletter, book that initial sales call, and close deals successfully. 

  • Fine-tune campaigns to improve outcomes. Track multiple types of conversion data so you can adjust campaigns quickly. For example, you can better enhance messaging to influence specific behavior.  

  • Run more efficient campaigns. Improve your cost per action (CPA) without relying on cookie-based tracking alone. 

  • More data control. The only actions Zapier performs on your app accounts are the ones you've set up in a given Zap. That means you choose the data you want to share with LinkedIn. 

Plus, you won't be charged for tasks that use LinkedIn Conversions in your Zaps. Automate conversion tracking and save some money, too.

Special offer: Use LinkedIn Conversions on Zapier for free.
