Creating a Linkedin Social Source
On the Conversionomics homepage, you will see a screen with all of your projects; select the project name you will be working on. If you need to create a new project, select the orange button that says "New Project" and follow the instructions
Once you select the project you want to work on, you will see a similar screen as shown below. Select the orange button that says " + New Source"
After selecting the orange button that says " + New Source"
Input the "Source Name" and select "LinkedIn" for the type, then click "CONTINUE" once complete.
You will then be redirected to this screen:
Connection: Allows you to choose a specific LinkedIn Account to pull data from
Company: Select a company from which to pull a report
Report: Choose a Report to retrieve from the selected company
Time Granularity: Organizes the data based on the time period chosen
Finally, Conversionomics lets you choose a lookback window. Allowing you to overwrite old data without having to reload the entire dataset. For example, a 30-day lookback window will only replace the last 30 days of data
Auto load can be scheduled to run daily, with append or full reload options
Select "SAVE" once complete
- If you have pre-existing data in this Source and want to supplement those with the new data, please DO NOT select "Overwrite data". Not selecting the "Overwrite data", Conversionomics will APPEND, joining the datasets.
- If you are creating a new Source or want to overwrite the existing ones, please SELECT "Overwrite data". By selecting the "Overwrite data" button, Conversionomics will replace the existing datas with the new one you load.
In our situation, we are creating a new source with no prior data; we are going to select the API and "Overwrite data" and chose our Start and end date, and save it by selecting "LOAD"
A screen will pop up asking you if you are sure you want to overwrite existing data, select "YES"
Congratulations! You've successfully created and connected to a LinkedIn Conversionomics Source!
