Set up LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms set-up-linkedin-lead-gen-forms

Use LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to run ad campaigns in LinkedIn and generate leads for Marketo.

IMPORTANT
LinkedIn is upgrading their Marketing APIs used by Marketo Engage LinkedIn integrations. These changes will require re-authentication of all LinkedIn LaunchPoint services in your Admin > LaunchPoint menu between June 7 and December 15, 2024, to avoid service interruption. For more information, please see the Migration FAQ.
NOTE
Admin Permissions Required
NOTE
A LinkedIn lead will not come into Marketo Engage if it matches an existing person record in Marketo that’s associated with a company record created using Company APIs, and the Marketo subscription is not connected to a CRM.
  1. Go to Marketo Admin.

  2. Go to LaunchPoint, click on New and select New Service.

  3. Enter a Display Name for your service, select the LinkedIn Lead Gen service from the drop-down, and click Next.

  4. Marketo opens a new tab in the same browser to linkedin.com. Log in to LinkedIn using the account you want to use for the integration.

    note note
    NOTE
    The LinkedIn account needs access to all the LinkedIn Business Accounts that you are creating sponsored campaigns for.

  5. After you’re logged into LinkedIn, return to Marketo and click Authorize.

  6. When prompted, click Allow to accept the Marketo app installation into LinkedIn.

  7. You’ll notice you are now authorized. Click Next.

    note caution
    CAUTION
    The service automatically expires one year after authorization. To regain access, simply click Re-Authorize. You may have to re-enter your LinkedIn password, depending on your browser settings.
  8. Select the account(s) you want LinkedIn Lead Gen leads to come into Marketo from and click Next.

    note tip
    TIP
    If you don’t see the Business Accounts that you’re expecting, make sure that the user’s LinkedIn account that is being authorized has Lead Gen Form Manager Permissions to the Business Account in LinkedIn.

  9. To accept default LinkedIn to Marketo field mappings, simply click Create. If you would like to change the default field mapping, remove a field mapping, or add a new field mapping, you can do this on a per field basis through the modal below.

    note caution
    CAUTION
    Marketo supports mapping two LinkedIn fields to a single Marketo field, but only when the two LinkedIn fields are not on the same form. If you map two fields from the same LinkedIn form to a single Marketo field, people may fail to enter your Marketo database.

    note note
    NOTE
    Only LinkedIn fields that have already been saved to a form template in LinkedIn Campaign Manager will show up as LinkedIn Fields that can be mapped to Marketo fields.

Nicely done! People who submit LinkedIn Lead Gen forms will start flowing into Marketo as you run successful campaigns on the LinkedIn side.

NOTE
You can only authorize a single LinkedIn user account. If you have multiple Business Accounts that you would like to link to Marketo, make sure that the user’s LinkedIn account that’s being authorized has Lead Gen Form Manager Permissions to the Business Account in LinkedIn.
