Automated Campaigns: Build and Preview Campaign Templates from a CSV Feed

Automated Campaigns is a CSV-feed templating tool. You upload a CSV file as a feed, define an automation that maps CSV columns to campaign fields using template syntax, apply filter rules to select matching rows, and preview the draft campaign objects that the template would produce. The key thing to understand upfront: Automated Campaigns is at an early stage and generates and previews drafts only. It does not publish campaigns or create live LinkedIn ad objects. Think of it as a campaign template builder that shows you exactly what would be created before any live action is taken.

What Automated Campaigns Does

• Upload and manage CSV feeds that define campaign parameters across one row per campaign
• Parse the CSV into typed columns and store a sample of the first rows for use in the preview
• Create automations that bind a template definition to a specific ad account and CSV feed
• Apply filter rules to include only the rows from the feed that meet your criteria
• Substitute {{column}} placeholder syntax in the template with the actual values from each matching row
• Generate a preview of the campaign draft objects that the template and filter rules would produce from the current sample data
• List automations and their associated feeds

How to Use It

• Navigate to Automated Campaigns in the sidebar
• Upload a CSV feed using the upload button. The file must be plain text and should be under approximately 2 MB.
• Once the feed is uploaded and parsed, create a new automation by selecting the feed and an ad account
• Define your template by mapping CSV column headers to campaign fields using the {{column}} syntax
• Set filter rules to limit which rows from the feed the automation should process
• Click Preview to see the draft campaign objects that would be generated from the stored sample rows
• Review the preview to confirm that columns are mapped correctly before saving the automation

Limitations

• Automated Campaigns currently previews and stores templates only. It does not publish campaigns or create live LinkedIn ad objects of any kind. This is intentional behavior at the current stage.
• CSV uploads are capped at approximately 2 MB of plain text.
• A feed that is referenced by an active automation cannot be deleted. Remove the automation that uses the feed first, then delete the feed.
• Google Sheet and webhook feed sources exist in the data model but are not wired to the interface today. Only CSV file upload is available.

Automated Campaigns is available on Growth, Scale, Agency, and Enterprise plans.
