How to connect

1

Open Connected Sources

In your Vortex IQ workspace, go to Settings → Connected Sources. You need Admin role in the workspace to connect sources.
2

Find the LinkedIn Ads card

Locate the LinkedIn Ads connector card and click + Connect.
3

Authorise with LinkedIn Ads

You are redirected to LinkedIn Ads’s own authorisation page (https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization). Sign in and approve the requested permissions. Vortex IQ requests these scopes: r_ads, r_ads_reporting, rw_ads, r_organization_social.
4

Return to Vortex IQ

LinkedIn Ads redirects you back to Vortex IQ once authorisation completes. The connector card flips to Connected automatically; no credentials are copied by hand.
5

Wait for the first data pull

KPI cards begin populating once the first sync completes. Timing depends on the LinkedIn Ads API response size and rate limits.

​
Available KPI cards

Vortex IQ populates 72 Nerve Centre cards from your LinkedIn Ads data. See the LinkedIn Ads KPI card reference for the full list with definitions, calculations, and sentiment bands.

​
Troubleshooting

Re-check each value against the LinkedIn Ads developer console for typos or trailing whitespace. If a scope or permission is missing, LinkedIn Ads will typically return a 401 or 403 on the verification call rather than a generic failure.
Allow time for the first sync to complete; large accounts can take longer. If cards are still empty after an hour, disconnect and reconnect to confirm the credentials were saved correctly.
