How do I get my LinkedIn Ads API credentials?

1. Go to **developer.linkedin.com** and log in with your LinkedIn account. 2. Click **My Apps** → **Create App**. 3. Fill in your app name, company LinkedIn page, and logo. 4. Under the **Products** tab, request access to **Marketing Developer Platform**. 5. After approval, go to the **Auth** tab and copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. 6. Paste both values below. ⚠️ Access to the Marketing API requires approval from LinkedIn (typically 1-5 business days).

Can I download lead gen form submissions?

Yes. Your AI agent can pull all lead gen form submissions including names, emails, job titles, and custom fields — ready to sync to your CRM or outreach tool.

What targeting criteria can I use?

LinkedIn offers the most precise B2B targeting: job title, job function, seniority, company name, company size, industry, skills, education, and matched audiences (ABM lists, retargeting, lookalikes).

Can I track cost-per-lead (CPL)?

Yes. Your AI agent calculates CPL by dividing total spend by leads generated — broken down by campaign, ad group, or creative. Essential for B2B marketers optimizing demand gen budgets.
