Thanks to ClickFlare's API integration with LinkedIn, you'll be able to track the cost of your Campaigns, Ad Groups, and Ads directly from ClickFlare — making tracking and optimization easier than ever before.

In this article, we'll go over the step-by-step process of setting up the Cost Tracking integration with LinkedIn.

***

## What You'll Need for the Integration

* An active ClickFlare account
* An active LinkedIn Ads account
* LinkedIn login credentials

## Where to Find Your LinkedIn Ad Account ID

Before setting up the integration in ClickFlare, you'll need to know your LinkedIn Ad Account ID. Here's how to find it:

1. Log in to [LinkedIn Campaign Manager](https://www.linkedin.com/campaignmanager/).
2. In the top-left corner, you'll see your account name. Click on it to open the account switcher.
3. Your **Ad Account ID** is the numerical ID displayed beneath each account name (e.g., 519191370).

<Tip>
  **Tip:** You can also find the Ad Account ID in the URL of Campaign Manager. When you're inside an account, the URL will look like: [https://www.linkedin.com/campaignmanager/accounts/519191370/](https://www.linkedin.com/campaignmanager/accounts/519191370/) The number after /accounts/ is your Ad Account ID.

   <Info>
     **Note:** You only need to create one integration per LinkedIn account. In a single integration, you can select multiple ad accounts. ClickFlare will automatically associate costs to the correct campaigns.
   </Info>
5. **(Optional)** You can specify which traffic source configurations should use this cost integration. If you skip this, you can assign the cost integration later from the traffic source configuration settings.

   <Warning>
     **Important:** Make sure that the traffic source configurations you select belong to LinkedIn as the traffic source.
   </Warning>
6. Go to your LinkedIn traffic source configuration settings and add the newly created cost integration under the **Cost Integration** settings.

   <Warning>
     **Important:** When adding or editing a Traffic Source configuration, remember to select the new integration you just added. Failing to do so will result in costs not being pulled.
   </Warning>

Congratulations! You've just finalized the LinkedIn cost tracking integration in ClickFlare. From now on, you'll be able to see the cost of your LinkedIn campaigns directly inside ClickFlare.

**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**

Got questions? Find the answers below:

> **Q1**: Why aren't my LinkedIn costs showing in ClickFlare?

**A1:** Make sure you've assigned the cost integration to your LinkedIn traffic source configuration. If the integration is created but not linked to a traffic source configuration, costs won't be pulled. Also verify that your LinkedIn account permissions haven't expired.

> **Q2**: Can I connect multiple LinkedIn Ad Accounts in one integration?

**A2**: Yes. When setting up the integration, you can select multiple ad accounts from the Ad Accounts dropdown. ClickFlare will automatically match costs to the correct campaigns.

> **Q3**: How often does ClickFlare pull cost data from LinkedIn?

**A3**: The pull frequency depends on your plan. On Starter and Pro, costs are pulled every 60 minutes. On Master and above, every 30 minutes. Faster updates (every 15 or 5 minutes) are available as add-ons on all plans. Between pulls, ClickFlare estimates cost in real time based on each campaign's last known CPC.

For full plan details, see [ClickFlare Pricing](https://clickflare.com/pricing).

> **Q4**: Do I need to re-authorize if I change my LinkedIn password?

**A4**: Changing your LinkedIn password may revoke the OAuth token. If costs stop updating, go to Integrations → Cost Tracking, edit your LinkedIn integration, and re-authorize your account by clicking "Sign in with LinkedIn" again.

> **Q5**: Can I use this integration with LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms campaigns?

**A5**: Yes. The cost tracking integration pulls spend data from all campaign types in your LinkedIn Ad Account, including Lead Gen Forms, Sponsored Content, Message Ads, and more.
