LinkedIn
LinkedIn is configured as an attribution-only integration in OneView. OneView tracks LinkedIn touchpoints for attribution and includes them in merit-based routing decisions, but does not send conversion data back to LinkedIn's API.
No conversion data is sent back to LinkedIn. If you need conversion data sent to LinkedIn for campaign optimization, use LinkedIn's native tracking or request a full Conversion API integration.

Merit-Based Routing

When LinkedIn touchpoints overlap with Conversion API platforms (like Google Ads or Meta), merit-based routing determines which platform receives the conversion based on your attribution model and conversion merit. If LinkedIn wins attribution, the conversion is recorded in OneView but not sent anywhere.

Setup

Configure UTM parameters in your LinkedIn campaigns with utm_source identifying the platform. OneView automatically captures UTM parameters from all traffic sources—no additional configuration needed.
When overlapping conversions occur, merit-based routing evaluates all touchpoints, including attribution-only platforms:
  1. OneView collects touchpoints from all sources (LinkedIn via UTM, Conversion API platforms via click identifiers)
  2. Your attribution model determines which touchpoint gets credit
  3. If the winner is a Conversion API platform (e.g., Google Ads, Meta), OneView sends the conversion to that platform's API
  4. If the winner is attribution-only (e.g., LinkedIn), the conversion is recorded in OneView but not sent anywhere
  5. LinkedIn remains visible in reports showing it was part of the customer journey

Troubleshooting

Revoking access will stop OneView from sending conversions to your LinkedIn account.
You need to revoke access to your LinkedIn data on both ends:
  1. From OneView: Navigate to Ad Accounts settings and disconnect your LinkedIn account.
  2. From LinkedIn: Use your dashboard at (https://www.linkedin.com/mypreferences/d/data-sharing-for-permitted-services) and remove OneView Platform from your account.
