Before you begin
To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from LinkedIn Ads to supported destinations, you must meet these requirements:
-
You have a LinkedIn account and a LinkedIn Page. For the steps to create a page, see Create a LinkedIn Page
on LinkedIn Help. -
In LinkedIn Developers, you've created an app, and you've configured it with the following settings:
-
The app is associated with your LinkedIn Page.
-
The app includes the Marketing Developer Platform product.
-
The app Auth settings have one or more redirect URLs for Amazon AppFlow.
Redirect URLs have the following format:
https://
region
.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauthIn this URL, region is the code for the AWS Region where you use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from LinkedIn Ads. For example, the code for the US East (N. Virginia) Region is
us-east-1
. For that Region, the URL is the following:https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth
For the AWS Regions that Amazon AppFlow supports, and their codes, see Amazon AppFlow endpoints and quotas in the AWS General Reference.

From your LinkedIn account, you've created a LinkedIn Campaign Manager account, which you use to manage your ads on LinkedIn. For the steps to create an account, see Create an ad account in Campaign Manager as a new advertiser

Optionally, under Data encryption, choose Customize encryption settings (advanced) if you want to encrypt your data with a customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

Amazon AppFlow always encrypts your data during transit and at rest. For more information, see Data protection in Amazon AppFlow.
If you want to use a KMS key from the current AWS account, select this key under Choose an AWS KMS key. If you want to use a KMS key from a different AWS account, enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for that key.
