How To Connect LinkedIn With GoHighLevel: Easy Step-by-Step Guide!
Requirements and Initial Setup
Before diving into the integration, double-check that your GoHighLevel and LinkedIn accounts have the right permissions. This step is crucial to ensure everything works smoothly. Take a moment to review account permissions and access levels before starting the setup process.
GoHighLevel and LinkedIn Account Requirements
You can integrate both personal LinkedIn profiles and LinkedIn business pages, but each comes with specific permission needs.
"Before you begin setting up LinkedIn, make sure you have admin access to the LinkedIn Page you want to connect. If you’re connecting for advertising purposes, ensure your LinkedIn login has Super Admin or Campaign Manager access to the ad account." – GoHighLevel Help Center [1][2]
If you’re planning to use LinkedIn Lead Ads or run advertising campaigns, your LinkedIn login must have Super Admin or Campaign Manager access to the ad account. Without these permissions, you might run into connection errors.
For ad account-related issues, try these troubleshooting steps:
- Update your user role in LinkedIn Campaign Manager.
- Clear your browser cache.
- Use an incognito browser window before attempting to reconnect.
If permissions are incomplete, the system will show a "Permissions Missing" status. In that case, reauthorization with the correct permissions will be required.
Key permission requirements:
- Personal LinkedIn profiles need standard access.
- LinkedIn business pages require admin rights.
- LinkedIn Lead Ads and ad account integrations need Super Admin or Campaign Manager access.
- Ad accounts must be linked to a LinkedIn page.
These checks are essential to avoid interruptions and ensure seamless automation. While there’s no hard limit on the number of LinkedIn accounts you can connect to GoHighLevel, your connections must match your subscription tier and existing admin permissions across LinkedIn properties.
Once permissions are sorted, don’t forget about token management. LinkedIn integration tokens expire roughly every 60 days. To maintain uninterrupted workflows, reauthorize your account regularly. When a token expires, you’ll see a "Reconnect" prompt in your GoHighLevel dashboard, signaling it’s time to reauthorize the connection.
Step-by-Step Integration Guide
Here’s a simple guide to help you integrate and set up your lead capture workflows successfully.
Connecting GoHighLevel with LinkedIn
Start by heading over to the Integrations section in your GoHighLevel dashboard. Look for LinkedIn in the list of available integrations and click on it to begin the process.
When you choose Connect LinkedIn, a new browser window will pop up, taking you to LinkedIn’s authorization page. Log in with the LinkedIn account that has the permissions you need. If you’re planning to manage LinkedIn ads, make sure you’re using an account with Super Admin or Campaign Manager access.
On LinkedIn, you’ll see a permissions screen outlining the data GoHighLevel will access, such as your profile, managed company pages, and lead form data. Review the details carefully and click Allow to grant access.
Once authorized, you’ll be redirected back to GoHighLevel, where a confirmation message will indicate the connection was successful. Your LinkedIn account will now appear in the integrations list with an Active status.
If you run into issues during the connection process, try clearing your browser cache or using an incognito window. Sometimes, cached data or browser extensions can interfere with the authorization process.
After connecting, the next step is to align LinkedIn form fields with GoHighLevel’s CRM to ensure accurate data capture.
Mapping Lead Form Fields
To map your LinkedIn lead form fields to GoHighLevel’s CRM fields, go to the Form Field Mapping section or find the LinkedIn form field mapping tab in your integration settings [3].
You’ll see your LinkedIn lead forms on one side and GoHighLevel’s CRM fields on the other. Click Map Fields to start aligning them [3].
GoHighLevel automatically matches standard fields like First Name and Last Name [4]. However, for custom fields like "Company Size" or "Budget Range", you’ll need to create corresponding custom fields in GoHighLevel before mapping them.
If LinkedIn displays a field with incorrect formatting, such as "E-MaiL AddResS" instead of "Email Address", you can manually select the correct CRM field from the dropdown menu during mapping [4].
For any unique LinkedIn fields, ensure you create matching custom fields in GoHighLevel first [4][5]. This step is key to capturing all data accurately and avoiding any loss of information.
After mapping all fields, click Confirm or Save to finalize the setup [3][4]. Now, GoHighLevel knows exactly where to store each piece of information from your LinkedIn leads.
With the fields mapped, you’re ready to automate the next steps.
Creating Automation Triggers and Actions
Now that your fields are mapped, set up automation to handle incoming leads efficiently. Go to the Workflows section in GoHighLevel and create a new workflow specifically for LinkedIn leads.
Set the trigger as New LinkedIn Lead Form Submission, which activates the workflow whenever someone submits a LinkedIn lead form. If you’re running multiple campaigns, you can make the trigger more specific by selecting particular lead forms.
Decide what actions should follow when a new lead is captured. Common steps include adding the lead to a pipeline stage, assigning them to a sales rep, sending a follow-up email, or creating a task for manual outreach.
For instance, you could add leads to a "LinkedIn Prospects" pipeline, send an immediate welcome email, and create a task for your team to follow up.
You can also use conditional logic based on lead details. For example, if a lead comes from a company with over 500 employees, route them to your enterprise sales team. Leads from smaller companies can follow a standard sales process.
Don’t forget to implement lead scoring and tagging. For example, you could tag LinkedIn leads with "LinkedIn Source" and assign points based on factors like company size or job title.
Testing the Integration
Before launching, test the integration to ensure everything works as expected. First, verify that your LinkedIn form is enabled and properly mapped, then submit a test lead [3].
Use your email to fill out a test form and monitor how the data flows into GoHighLevel. Check that all fields populate correctly and automation triggers fire as intended.
Confirm the lead appears in the correct pipeline stage, receives the right tags, and triggers any follow-up actions you’ve set up. If you’ve included email automation, make sure the test email is sent and formatted correctly.
Pay extra attention to custom fields and conditional logic. Test various scenarios by submitting forms with different company sizes, job titles, or other qualifying details to ensure your rules work as planned.
If something doesn’t work, double-check your field mappings. Most issues stem from incorrect mappings or missing custom fields in GoHighLevel. Ensure every LinkedIn form field has a corresponding destination in your CRM.
Once live, monitor the integration closely for the first few days. Keep an eye on lead flow, automation performance, and any error messages. This helps you catch and resolve any issues early, ensuring smooth lead generation and follow-up processes.

Improving Workflows and Campaigns
Now that the integration is up and running, the next step is to fine-tune workflows and maximize the impact of your campaigns. The real value of connecting GoHighLevel with LinkedIn lies in automating lead nurturing while keeping interactions personal.
Building Automated LinkedIn Workflows
Create multi-touch workflows that engage leads across different channels. Using GoHighLevel’s workflow builder, you can design branches that respond to how leads interact with your outreach.
For example, set up workflows to send personalized follow-ups within a few days of initial contact. If a prospect doesn’t respond within five business days, trigger a follow-up sequence that combines email and SMS. This ensures no lead is overlooked without overwhelming them with too many messages.
Time-based triggers work particularly well for LinkedIn leads, as they often require longer nurturing cycles. Use these triggers alongside conditional logic to deliver customized, multi-channel follow-ups over a few weeks.
You can also create workflows tailored to specific industries using company data captured from LinkedIn forms. For instance, leads from healthcare companies might receive messaging and resources different from those sent to tech sector prospects. GoHighLevel’s tagging system can automatically sort leads into the right sequences.
For leads that go quiet, introduce re-engagement workflows after 30 days. Use these sequences to share valuable content like case studies or industry reports, which can reignite interest in prospects who weren’t ready to engage earlier.
Adding AI-Powered Personalization to Campaigns
Alongside structured workflows, adding personalized messaging can make your campaigns even more effective. AI-powered tools allow you to tailor messages based on LinkedIn profile data.
Data enrichment is key to personalization. AI tools can pull extra details about your LinkedIn leads, such as company size, recent job changes, or industry trends. This enriched data integrates seamlessly into GoHighLevel workflows, enabling more precise targeting.
Lead scoring algorithms can help prioritize outreach by analyzing LinkedIn profile data. Leads with recent promotions, company growth, or relevant posts can be assigned higher scores and fast-tracked into nurturing sequences, ensuring your sales team focuses on the most promising opportunities.
AI can also generate dynamic message variations based on each prospect’s profile. For instance, a message to a startup founder will differ in tone and content from one sent to a corporate executive, even if they’re part of the same campaign. This level of customization makes your outreach feel more personal.
Using behavioral triggers, AI can determine the best time to reach out. It might learn that executives are more likely to respond on Tuesday mornings, while mid-level managers are more engaged on Thursday afternoons. Messages are then scheduled accordingly for maximum impact.
To further enhance engagement, AI tools can provide content recommendations. For example, if a prospect shows interest in a specific topic, the system might suggest including a relevant whitepaper, blog post, or case study in your follow-up. This approach ensures your outreach feels relevant and valuable.
Tracking and Analyzing Campaign Performance
To ensure your efforts are paying off, use GoHighLevel’s analytics tools to track how LinkedIn leads progress through your sales funnel.
Start with conversion tracking to monitor form submission rates from LinkedIn campaigns. Identify which lead magnets and ad creatives bring in the highest-quality leads by analyzing their journey from initial capture to closed deals. This insight helps you focus your budget on what works best.
Analyze engagement metrics like email open rates, click-through rates, and response rates for LinkedIn-sourced leads. Comparing these with leads from other channels can reveal unique patterns within your LinkedIn audience.
Pipeline velocity analysis is another useful tool. It shows how quickly LinkedIn leads move through your sales process compared to other sources. For instance, if LinkedIn leads take longer to close but result in higher deal values, you can adjust your approach to accommodate this dynamic.
When running multiple LinkedIn campaigns, attribution reporting is essential. Track which campaigns, ad sets, and lead magnets contribute most to revenue. This granular data allows you to double down on what’s working and cut out what isn’t.
Incorporate A/B testing frameworks into your strategy from the beginning. Test different follow-up sequences, message timings, and content offers with subsets of your LinkedIn leads. GoHighLevel’s workflow builder makes it easy to split test groups and analyze results over time.
Finally, calculate your ROI by factoring in both direct costs and the time saved through automation. Compare the total cost per LinkedIn lead – including ad spend and platform fees – against the lifetime value of customers acquired through this channel.
Regular performance reviews are crucial for staying on track. Schedule monthly sessions to evaluate which LinkedIn campaigns generate the best leads, identify the most effective follow-up sequences, and pinpoint where prospects drop off in your funnel. Use these insights to refine your strategy and improve your overall workflow.
Common Integration Problems and Solutions
After setting up and automating your integrations, you might encounter a few common issues. Here’s how to identify and fix them to keep everything running smoothly.
Permission issues are the most frequent hurdles users face. These often occur when the LinkedIn account being connected doesn’t have proper admin rights or full permissions during the initial setup. For ad accounts, connection failures can stem from insufficient user roles in LinkedIn Campaign Manager [1].
To fix this, reconnect your LinkedIn account and double-check that you have full admin access. Make sure to grant all necessary permissions during the authorization process. If the issue persists, try clearing your browser cache or using an incognito window before reconnecting [1].
Expired connection tokens can also disrupt operations. When tokens expire, you’ll see a "Reconnect" prompt in GoHighLevel’s Social Accounts tab. To resolve this, simply reauthorize the connection through LinkedIn, and you’ll be back on track [1].
Missing ad accounts present another challenge. This typically happens when ad accounts are inactive, archived, or suspended. Additionally, make sure you’ve accepted LinkedIn’s Marketing Developer Terms in Campaign Manager – this step is crucial for your ad accounts to appear in GoHighLevel [1].
Automation workflows that won’t trigger are usually the result of incorrect triggers, conditions, or misconfigured integration settings [6]. This can block leads from entering your automation sequences. To address this, review your workflow filters. Conditions that are too restrictive might be the culprit. Adjust these filters to ensure leads can flow into your workflows [5].
Failed lead data syncing is another common issue. This often happens due to incorrect field mapping, disabled inbound lead capture for forms, or issues with the LinkedIn Lead Ads integration [3][5]. Check that all required fields in your LinkedIn forms are filled out – empty fields can disrupt syncing or workflow conditions [5].
Duplicate handling problems arise when the "Allow Re-entry" setting is disabled in your workflow [5]. If you want leads to re-enter workflows after resubmission, make sure to enable this setting.

Combining GoHighLevel with LinkedIn creates a streamlined process for capturing, nurturing, and converting leads. Success hinges on setting up proper account permissions, mapping fields accurately, and creating automated triggers to keep everything running smoothly.
Once integrated, this system takes full advantage of multiple outreach channels. LinkedIn lead ads sync directly with GoHighLevel’s CRM, automatically launching personalized email campaigns, SMS messages, and follow-up tasks.
