How to Connect LinkedIn Ads to Claude

Why teams run LinkedIn Ads through PaidSync.ai

• It builds, not only reports. 34 LinkedIn tools, 17 of them writes. Claude creates campaign groups, campaigns, Sponsored Content ads, conversion rules and lead gen forms, and new items start as drafts.
• B2B breakdowns. Claude reads performance by job title, company, seniority, industry, country and region.
• Checks before changes. New campaigns and ads start paused or as drafts, and budget edits run as a preview first.
• LinkedIn next to everything else. The same connection reaches 14 platforms and 630+ tools, Google Ads and Meta included.
• What it does not do. It counts leads and cost per lead but does not read the leads themselves (names and emails) from lead gen forms.
• Price. PaidSync.ai is free for 15 tasks a month with no credit card and no time limit. Pro is $99 a month for 600 tasks, or $75 a month billed yearly, and Team is $249 a month for 5 seats and 6,000 shared tasks (pricing).

How to connect LinkedIn Ads to Claude with PaidSync

This is the route PaidSync supports today. There is no API key to copy at any point: Claude connects with a PaidSync sign-in (OAuth), and LinkedIn is connected with LinkedIn's own sign-in.

Ten prompts to try on LinkedIn Ads

Each prompt below names the PaidSync tool Claude uses to answer it. The reports only read. When a prompt changes something, ask for a preview first, as prompts 7 and 8 do. Each prompt uses one or more of your tasks.

1. "Show my LinkedIn campaign performance for the last 30 days, with spend, clicks, CTR, CPC, website conversions and lead form leads by campaign." Uses get_linkedin_performance, which returns website conversions and lead form leads as separate numbers.
2. "List my LinkedIn lead gen forms, then show leads and cost per lead by campaign for the last 30 days." Uses list_linkedin_lead_forms and get_linkedin_performance. You get form names and lead counts, not the people who filled them in.
3. "Break down my LinkedIn leads by job title and seniority for the last 30 days." Uses get_linkedin_performance_by_dimension, which also splits by company, industry, country and region.
4. "Compare my LinkedIn ads from the last 14 days by CTR and cost per lead, and tell me which one to pause." Uses get_linkedin_performance_by_dimension with the creative breakdown.
5. "Show the targeting on my best LinkedIn campaign and how big that audience is." Uses get_linkedin_campaign_targeting and get_linkedin_audience_size.
6. "What does LinkedIn forecast for a new campaign aimed at marketing directors in Germany at $100 a day, and what bid does it suggest?" Uses get_linkedin_campaign_forecast, LinkedIn's own estimate with a low and a high range.
7. "Preview raising the daily budget of my best LinkedIn campaign by 20%. Do not apply it yet." Uses update_linkedin_campaign, which previews by default.
8. "Preview pausing every LinkedIn campaign whose cost per lead was above $150 this month." Uses get_linkedin_performance, then pause_linkedin_campaign as a preview.
9. "Draft a Sponsored Content campaign for IT directors in the UK with one single image ad and my existing lead form attached." Uses create_linkedin_campaign and create_linkedin_ad; by default both are created as drafts, which never serve or spend.
10. "Compare spend, CPA and ROAS for Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn over the last 30 days." Uses get_cross_platform_performance, which totals PaidSync's daily figures per currency.

What PaidSync can and cannot do on LinkedIn Ads

PaidSync has 34 LinkedIn tools, 15 that read and 17 that make changes. They act through your own LinkedIn sign-in, so every change is limited to what your role on the ad account allows. With them, Claude builds and runs your LinkedIn campaigns, from a new campaign group to its ads, budgets and targeting, not just reports on them.

What Claude can read

• Campaign performance: impressions, clicks, spend, CTR, CPC and conversions, with website conversions and lead form leads reported separately.
• Breakdowns by ad, campaign, company, job title, industry, seniority, country and region.
• Campaigns, campaign groups, ads with their media and full text, targeting, conversion rules, and lead gen forms (name, state, review status, headline and question count).
• The audience size of a targeting setup, and LinkedIn's own forecast for a new campaign with a suggested bid.

What Claude can change or create

• A campaign's name, status, run dates, budget, bid, ad rotation and bid strategy, plus its targeting and the conversions it tracks.
• An ad's text, destination, call to action, name and status. Campaigns can be paused and enabled.
• New campaign groups, campaigns and Sponsored Content ads (single image, video or text-only, or sponsoring an existing post), conversion rules and lead gen forms, plus image and video uploads.

What PaidSync does not do on LinkedIn

• It does not read the leads themselves (names, emails or answers) from lead gen forms, and it does not report form open or completion rates. It counts leads and cost per lead by campaign or ad.
• It does not delete campaigns. Pause them instead.
• The ads it builds are Sponsored Content. It does not build Message Ad or Dynamic Ad creatives.
• It does not manage Matched Audiences such as contact or company lists. Audience work means targeting criteria.

Safety defaults and what PaidSync stores

By default, new campaigns and ads start paused or as drafts, and budget edits run as a preview first. On LinkedIn, that means new campaigns and ads are created as drafts, which never serve or spend. These are defaults, not locks: Claude can make a live change or create something active when you ask it to.

A few things apply at once: lead gen forms are published when created (a form alone never spends), a campaign group can be created active if you ask for it, and image or video uploads happen immediately. Live pauses and enables need an explicit confirmation flag. Claude's own per-tool approval setting is a second check you control; during Research, Claude can use connector tools without asking (Anthropic's guidance), so keep approval on for the PaidSync tools that change your account.

PaidSync never sees your LinkedIn password. It stores the access tokens LinkedIn issues, encrypted with AES-256 in Google Cloud (United States), and deletes them when you disconnect. You can also revoke access from your LinkedIn account settings. The privacy policy lists the daily account summaries it keeps.

Frequently asked questions

Turn it into a weekly routine

When a prompt gives you what you need, ask Claude to save it as a PaidSync workflow, for example "Save this as a workflow called Monday LinkedIn check". PaidSync keeps it as a named job you can run again from a chat or on a schedule. The workflows page lists twelve, including a daily budget pacing check that covers LinkedIn and a Monday report across all 14 platforms, and names the point where a person decides in each.
