How to Connect LinkedIn Ads to ChatGPT (Every Option, September 2026)

Which option should you pick

Our pick for most teams is PaidSync. Pick something else if one of the narrower cases after it fits you better. The facts behind each pick are in the sections and tables below, with links to each vendor's own pages.

• PaidSync, our pick for most teams. We pick it because with PaidSync, ChatGPT builds and runs your LinkedIn campaigns, not just reports on them. It creates campaign groups, draft campaigns (Sponsored Content, Message Ads, Text Ads or Dynamic), draft Sponsored Content ads, conversion rules and lead forms, and it edits budgets, bids, bid strategy, run dates, targeting and ad text, where Windsor.ai says it does not yet create campaigns, campaign groups or creatives. Of its 34 LinkedIn tools, 17 make changes, against the eight write actions Windsor.ai lists. Setup is Install plugin in ChatGPT's Plugins directory, a PaidSync sign-in and a LinkedIn sign-in, with no API key. By default, new campaigns and ads start paused or as drafts, and budget edits run as a preview first. Live pauses and enables need an explicit confirmation flag. The same login makes changes on Google Ads and Meta once you connect them. Free for 15 tasks a month with no credit card, then priced by usage, from $99 a month for 600 tasks. Its free plan gives 15 tasks every month with no time limit, where Markifact gives 200 one-time credits at sign-up and Windsor.ai's free plan follows a 30-day trial. What to know. PaidSync does not read the leads inside lead gen forms, and it has no LinkedIn delete tool. The Free plan stops at 15 tasks a month.

Pick something else if one of these narrower cases fits you better.

• You need carousel or Spotlight ads built from chat, or the leads themselves. Look at Markifact. Its LinkedIn page says it creates single image, video, carousel, text and Spotlight ads, and its ChatGPT guide lists a tool that retrieves leads. PaidSync builds Sponsored Content ads with a single image, a video or text only, and counts leads without reading them. To send each new lead form response to a CRM or a sheet, Zapier and Make both trigger on new responses.
• You want LinkedIn next to your CRM and other data, or only simple budget and on or off control. Pick Supermetrics or Windsor.ai. Supermetrics says you can mix LinkedIn Ads data with ad platforms, analytics tools, CRMs and e-commerce systems in one conversation, and that it can create, pause and modify LinkedIn campaigns. Windsor.ai pauses or enables campaign groups, campaigns and creatives and sets budgets, and its ChatGPT listing says changes happen "always after you confirm".
• You only want answers, and nothing that can change the account. Use LinkedIn's own LinkedIn Ads app for quick questions about ad sets and ads, or Adzviser for deeper read-only reports with 80 metrics and 44 breakdowns.
• You are a developer who wants full control. Build on LinkedIn's Advertising API, for example from the open-source linkedin-ads-mcp server. Expect LinkedIn's review, and edits on only five ad accounts until LinkedIn grants the Standard tier.

Every way to connect LinkedIn Ads to ChatGPT

We checked every route below on 27 September 2026, on each vendor's own pages and in ChatGPT's Plugins directory. LinkedIn has not published an MCP server for LinkedIn Ads, and its Marketing API documentation lists no MCP or AI agent product. So the choice is between LinkedIn's own read-only app, third-party connectors, automation tools and building your own.

LinkedIn's own LinkedIn Ads app (read-only beta)

LinkedIn publishes an app called LinkedIn Ads in ChatGPT's Plugins directory (developer LinkedIn, version 2.0.0). Its listing says it "is currently in beta and supports a limited set of LinkedIn Ads functionality" and "provides read-only access to ad set performance". You can view and search the ad accounts and ad sets you have access to, ask questions about ad set and ad performance, and break metrics down by date range, ad set or ad.

The listing names no way to change budgets, pause or create campaigns, edit targeting or pull lead form leads. OpenAI's page for the app says "Availability depends on the plugin, your plan, and workspace settings. Some connections require admin setup or approval." It does not say which ChatGPT plans include the app, and LinkedIn does not state a price.

Best for quick questions about how your ad sets are doing, when you do not need ChatGPT to change anything. It is separate from LinkedIn's app called simply LinkedIn, which looks up people's profiles rather than ads.

Ad operators that read and make changes

These connectors are listed in ChatGPT's Plugins directory with LinkedIn Ads named in their listing. Apart from PaidSync, what each can do is what its own website says. We did not test them.

• PaidSync. Our pick for most teams. Reads LinkedIn results with breakdowns by job title, seniority, company, industry and country, plus LinkedIn's own forecast with a suggested bid. It changes budgets, bids, targeting, ad text and campaign status, and creates campaign groups, draft campaigns, draft Sponsored Content ads and lead forms. It does not read lead form contents. Free for 15 tasks a month with no credit card, then priced by usage, from $99 a month for 600 tasks (pricing). Setup is below.
• Windsor.ai. Reads reports and lists eight write actions, which pause or enable campaign groups, campaigns and creatives and set campaign group and campaign budgets. It says it does not yet create campaigns, campaign groups or creatives, or edit an ad's copy or image, and its ChatGPT listing says changes happen "always after you confirm". Free plan for one data source after a 30-day trial, then Basic at $23 a month, or $19 a month billed yearly (pricing).
• Markifact. Says it creates campaign groups, campaigns and single image, video, carousel, text and Spotlight ads, sponsors existing Company Page posts, attaches Lead Gen Forms and "holds every account change until someone approves it". Its ChatGPT guide lists a tool that retrieves leads. 200 one-time credits at sign-up, then Pro at $79 a month, or $66 a month billed yearly (pricing).
• Adspirer. Says it launches Sponsored Content and carousel campaigns "paused for review", reallocates budget with confirmation, pauses and resumes campaigns and targets across 19 LinkedIn facets. It says it "cannot delete existing campaigns" and "doesn't push leads directly into your CRM". Free plan with 15 tasks a month, then Plus at $49 a month, or $40 a month billed yearly (pricing).
• Supermetrics. Its LinkedIn Ads to ChatGPT page says it can create, pause and modify campaigns on LinkedIn Ads and four other ad platforms. Its LinkedIn Ads to Claude page adds that new Sponsored Content campaigns are created paused and that it can pause ad sets, adjust budgets and update targeting. 14-day trial, then Starter at €49 a month, or €39 a month billed yearly, and every plan includes ChatGPT (pricing).
• Porter Metrics. Its ChatGPT tutorial describes creating, updating and pausing campaigns and adjusting budgets and targeting. The same page says its LinkedIn connector "is read-only by default" and that "no write scopes are requested". 14-day trial, then a free-forever plan, and paid Reporting at $15 per account a month, or $12.50 billed yearly (pricing).

Two more say they work with ChatGPT but were not in its Plugins directory when we checked. AdPlug says it reads seven report types, creates and edits campaigns, creatives, audiences and budgets, and pulls lead form responses, with a preview step before each write. It has a free plan (edits are view-only) and Pro at $29 a month, with no yearly price shown (pricing). Ryze AI says its hosted server reads campaigns, creatives and Lead Gen Form responses and makes changes with approval. It is free to connect, and its Paid Ads Autopilot is $89 a month flat after a 7-day trial.

Best for anyone who wants ChatGPT to act on the account, not only report on it.

Reporting connectors that only read

• Adzviser. "Read-only reporting; ChatGPT cannot change anything in LinkedIn Ads through Adzviser." It covers 80 metrics and 44 breakdowns. 14-day trial for $0.99, then Starter at $59.99 a month, or $48.99 a month billed yearly (pricing).
• Coupler.io. Exports LinkedIn Ads data, such as analytics by dimension, sponsored leads, campaigns, creatives and conversions, for AI analysis on a schedule you set. Its pages describe analysis, not changes. Its pricing page shows a free plan for one data source, then Starter at $32 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly, while its MCP page says "You need to be on at least the Professional plan".
• Two Minute Reports. "ChatGPT can only read your data. It cannot create, edit, pause, or delete anything." You set it up through ChatGPT's Developer mode and its own MCP server. Free trial.

Best for analysts and agencies who only need reports and prefer a tool that cannot touch the account.

Automation tools for lead form responses

Zapier's MCP server works with ChatGPT. Its LinkedIn Ads actions are two lead form response triggers (organic and sponsored), adding a company or contact to an audience, removing an email from an audience, creating an audience and creating a report. It has no budget, pause, campaign or targeting actions, and each tool call uses two tasks from your Zapier plan. The free plan has 100 tasks a month, and Professional starts at $29.99 a month, or $19.99 a month billed yearly (pricing).

Make's MCP server lets ChatGPT run scenarios you first build in Make. Its LinkedIn modules can update or reactivate a campaign, update a creative and create event ad campaigns, generate one statistics report and watch lead form responses. The free plan has 1,000 credits a month, and Core is $10.59 a month, or $9 a month billed yearly (pricing).

Best for moving new LinkedIn lead form responses into a CRM or a sheet.

Building your own on LinkedIn's Advertising API

Every tool above sits on LinkedIn's Advertising API. To use it yourself, you create a LinkedIn Page and a developer app, apply for the Advertising API under the app's Products tab and complete LinkedIn's access form (LinkedIn's quick start). Every app starts on the Development tier, which can read unlimited ad accounts but edit only five. The Standard tier, with unlimited editing, is requested through a support ticket and needs a video showing how your platform creates, edits or optimizes campaigns, and LinkedIn may still decline (access tiers). Lead form responses come from a separate product, the Lead Sync API, whose review requires a verified business email and a verified Company Page.

The open-source linkedin-ads-mcp server (MIT licence) is a starting point. It needs Node 18 or later, your own developer app, a Company Page and Advertising API approval, and it keeps tokens on your own machine. ChatGPT's Developer mode adds a server by its remote URL, so you would host it first. LinkedIn retires Marketing API version 202510 on 15 October 2026, so build on a current version.

Best for developers with time for LinkedIn's review who want full control.

LinkedIn Ads to ChatGPT options compared

What each option can do on LinkedIn Ads, according to its own pages. Where a vendor shows both, prices are given for monthly billing first, then yearly billing, so they compare like for like.

PaidSync, Windsor.ai and Markifact side by side

Windsor.ai and Markifact are both in ChatGPT's Plugins directory and both make changes on LinkedIn. Here is PaidSync next to them, on the same questions. PaidSync's facts come from its tools and its pricing page; theirs come from their own pages.

How to connect LinkedIn Ads to ChatGPT with PaidSync

This is the whole route. No API key is needed at any point. ChatGPT connects with a PaidSync sign-in, and LinkedIn Ads connects through LinkedIn's own sign-in page.

Ten prompts to try on LinkedIn Ads in ChatGPT

Each prompt maps to a real PaidSync tool, named under it, so you can check what ran. Every prompt uses one or more tasks.

1. "Show spend, impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC and conversions for each LinkedIn campaign in the last 30 days, with lead form leads and website conversions shown separately."Tool get_linkedin_performance
2. "List my LinkedIn lead gen forms, then show leads and cost per lead by campaign for the last 30 days."Tools list_linkedin_lead_forms, get_linkedin_performance
3. "Break down my LinkedIn leads by job title and seniority."Tool get_linkedin_performance_by_dimension
4. "Which companies saw my LinkedIn ads most last month, and which of them clicked?"Tool get_linkedin_performance_by_dimension

8. "Show me the LinkedIn campaign with the highest cost per lead this month, then pause it once I confirm."Tools get_linkedin_performance, pause_linkedin_campaign
9. "Create a draft Sponsored Content campaign in my Q4 pipeline campaign group, targeting IT directors in Germany, with a $100 daily budget. Leave it as a draft."Tools search_linkedin_targeting_entities, create_linkedin_campaign
10. "Compare spend, CPA and ROAS for Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn over the last 30 days."Tool get_cross_platform_performance

What PaidSync can and cannot do on LinkedIn Ads

PaidSync has 34 LinkedIn Ads tools, 15 that read and 17 that make changes, out of 630+ tools across 14 platforms. They act through your own LinkedIn sign-in, so every change is limited to what your role on the ad account allows.

What ChatGPT can read

• Campaign results, meaning impressions, clicks, spend, CTR, CPC and conversions, with website conversions and lead form leads counted separately.
• Breakdowns by creative, campaign, company, job title, industry, seniority, country and region.
• Campaigns, campaign groups, creatives with their media, the full content of an ad, campaign targeting and conversion rules.
• Lead forms, with name, status, review status, headline and number of questions.
• Audience size for a targeting mix, LinkedIn's own forecast with a suggested bid, and lookups for targeting values such as job titles.

What ChatGPT can change or create

• Campaign name, status, dates, budget, bid, bid strategy and ad rotation, plus campaign targeting.
• Ad text, destination, call to action and name, and creative status.
• Campaign groups, and the conversions attached to a campaign.
• Pausing and enabling campaigns.
• New campaign groups, new campaigns (Sponsored Content, Message Ads, Text Ads or Dynamic, as drafts by default), new Sponsored Content ads with a single image, a video or text only (drafts by default), sponsored existing posts, conversion rules, lead forms, and image or video uploads.

What PaidSync does not do on LinkedIn

• It cannot read lead form contents such as names, emails or answers, or report form completion and fill rates. It counts leads and cost per lead.
• It cannot delete or archive anything on LinkedIn. Pause a campaign to stop its spend.
• It can create Message Ads and Dynamic campaign types, but no PaidSync tool builds a Message Ad or Dynamic Ad itself. The ads it builds are Sponsored Content.
• It has no Matched Audiences tools. Audience work in PaidSync 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.

That is a default, not a lock. ChatGPT can apply a change directly if you ask it to. Lead forms are published when created (a form alone never spends), a campaign group can be created active, and image or video uploads apply at once. A live pause or enable needs an explicit confirmation flag in the request, which ChatGPT can set when you ask it to. ChatGPT's own app permission setting is a second check you control: changes run through PaidSync's paidsync_exec tool, and that setting in ChatGPT decides when ChatGPT asks you first.

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. PaidSync asks LinkedIn for these permissions: r_ads, r_ads_reporting, rw_ads, r_basicprofile, r_organization_social, w_member_social, w_organization_social, rw_organization_admin and r_organization_admin.

Plans are counted in tasks. A task is one request from your AI assistant to PaidSync, such as reading a report or pausing an ad. PaidSync is free for 15 tasks a month on all 14 platforms, with no credit card and no time limit. After that you pay for usage, the tasks your AI runs, not seats or a share of ad spend: Pro is $99 a month for 600 tasks, $149 for 1,200 and $199 for 4,000, or $999 billed yearly for 600, and you can add tasks if you run out. Team starts at $249 a month for 5 seats sharing 6,000 tasks.

Turn it into a weekly routine

Once a few prompts work, you do not have to retype them. PaidSync can save a job as a named workflow and run it by name from a chat, on a schedule or from your own agent. A weekly LinkedIn check could pull spend, leads and cost per lead by campaign, flag the campaigns above your cost-per-lead target and preview one budget change for you to approve.

Run from ChatGPT, your app permission setting in ChatGPT decides whether ChatGPT asks before a step that changes the account. The PaidSync workflows page lists the ready-made workflows and explains how a custom one is built. Building your own agent? See how to build your own AI ads agent.
