How to Connect LinkedIn Lead Ads to Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

The LinkedIn Lead Ads integration pipes leads from any number of LinkedIn ad accounts into your Sparkforge CRM. Connect, map fields, and test — leads from your LinkedIn campaigns flow into contacts automatically.

The LinkedIn Lead Ads integration pulls leads from one or many LinkedIn ad accounts into your Sparkforge CRM. Map LinkedIn form fields to CRM fields once, and every new lead flows into contacts without a manual export.

How to connect LinkedIn

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations.
  2. Find the LinkedIn integration and click Connect.
  3. Log in to LinkedIn and grant every requested permission.
  4. Pick one or more ad accounts to connect to your sub-account. There is no limit to how many you can add.
  5. For each ad account, choose a sync window:
    • All leads: sync all leads from the past 90 days plus all new leads.
    • New leads: sync only new leads going forward.
  6. Click Connect to finish.

Note: each ad account must have a linked LinkedIn page. Without a linked page, the integration will not complete.

Map form fields

  1. Click Configure form field mapping or open the LinkedIn form field mapping tab at the top.
  2. Use Map Fields to align LinkedIn form fields with your CRM contact fields.
  3. Click Confirm to save.
  4. Toggle the status off on any form you want to exclude from inbound delivery.

Test the connection

  1. Open LinkedIn and click Advertise.
  2. Select the ad account you want to test.
  3. Pick the campaign group and ad you want to use.
  4. Click the ad name to open the lead post.
  5. Send a test lead through the form (make sure the form is enabled and mapped in Sparkforge).
  6. Confirm the lead lands on the contacts page in Sparkforge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many LinkedIn ad accounts can I connect?
There is no hard limit. Connect every ad account you run, as long as each one has a linked LinkedIn page.
What if my ad account does not have a linked LinkedIn page?
The integration will not complete. Link a LinkedIn page to the ad account in LinkedIn Campaign Manager first, then retry the connection.
Can I sync historical leads?
Yes. Choose the All leads option during setup to pull every lead from the past 90 days plus new ones going forward.
How do I exclude a specific form from syncing?
In the LinkedIn form field mapping tab, toggle the status off on any form you do not want delivering leads to your CRM.
How do I test that leads are flowing?
Send a test lead from LinkedIn Campaign Manager through an enabled and mapped form, then check your Sparkforge contacts page for the new entry.
