5-minute quickstart: your first attribution report

5-minute quickstart: your first attribution report

Connect LinkedIn Ads and one CRM integration, wait for the first sync to finish, then open Company Insights to see which accounts your ads influenced. Here is the fastest path.

This quickstart gets you from a blank workspace to your first attribution data in about five minutes of active effort, plus the time the background sync takes to run.

LinkedIn Ads OAuth authorization screen in Revenue Proven
Connect your LinkedIn Ads account first — it is the engagement signal everything else depends on.

Step 1 — Connect your integrations

Go to Settings, then Connections. Click Connect next to LinkedIn Ads and complete the OAuth flow. Your LinkedIn credentials never leave LinkedIn; Revenue Proven only stores the access token, encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Once LinkedIn is connected, repeat the process for HubSpot or Salesforce so Revenue Proven has CRM accounts and deals to match against.

  • You need an active LinkedIn Ads account with at least one campaign that ran in the past 180 days.
  • You must hold Admin or Super Admin role on that LinkedIn Ads account to grant the required permissions.
  • For HubSpot, your user account needs at least read access to Companies, Deals, and Contacts.
  • For Salesforce, your user account needs API access enabled — contact your Salesforce admin if unsure.

Step 2 — Wait for the first sync

Once both integrations are connected, Revenue Proven starts the first sync automatically. It pulls up to 180 days of LinkedIn engagement across five lookback windows, resolves company names and domains, fetches your CRM data, and runs the matching algorithm. A progress indicator appears on the dashboard home page. The first sync typically takes 10 to 45 minutes depending on the size of your ad account.

Step 3 — Open Company Insights

After the sync completes, click Company Insights in the sidebar. You will see a table of matched companies sorted by LinkedIn engagement. Columns show impressions, clicks, influenced pipeline, influenced revenue, and match status. Click any row to open the customer journey timeline for that account — a chronological view of every LinkedIn touchpoint before and after a deal was created.
