    CONNECTIONS / Salesforce / Salesforce to LinkedIn Leads CAPI

    Salesforce deal stages, past the LinkedIn form fill.

    A LinkedIn form fill means nothing until sales qualifies it in Salesforce. Signals streams deal-stage changes to LinkedIn's Leads Conversions API as they happen, hashed throughout.

    salesforce -> linkedin-leads-capi :: live

    1. ● salesforce → linkedin.leads_capi :: live
    2. > event Lead status change SQL→Qualified
    3. > event Opportunity closed-won value=72,000 USD
    4. hash sha256(business_email)
    5. route linkedin.leads_capi conversion=stage_mapped
    6. ✓ delivered · stage recorded

    WHAT THIS ENABLES

    Salesforce to LinkedIn Leads Conversions API

    Salesforce to LinkedIn Leads Conversions API is the pipeline that sends Salesforce deal-stage changes to LinkedIn server-side, so B2B campaigns optimize toward qualified pipeline and closed-won revenue rather than the raw volume of forms filled out.

    • Salesforce deal-stage changes reported to LinkedIn as distinct conversion events.
    • Closed-won revenue passed through with value, for bidding weighted toward real pipeline.
    • B2B optimization that reflects sales qualification, weighted past the form submission.

    WHAT FLOWS WHERE

    Salesforce to Leads CAPI, mapped.

    Signals watches Salesforce for lead status and Opportunity closed-won changes, hashes the business email on each record, and posts them to LinkedIn's Leads Conversions API as stage-mapped conversions.

    FAQ

    Asked on almost every call.

    Which Salesforce stages should feed LinkedIn Leads Conversions API?

    Most teams map MQL, SQL, and closed-won as separate events, giving LinkedIn a view of pipeline depth rather than a single undifferentiated lead signal. The initial mapping is set during onboarding, and stage definitions can be adjusted later without a new LinkedIn integration project.

    How fast do Salesforce stage changes reach LinkedIn Leads Conversions API?

    Stage changes stream to LinkedIn in near real time, typically within minutes of the update landing in Salesforce. That speed keeps optimization signal close to the moment sales actually qualifies or closes a lead, rather than days later once someone exports a pipeline report.
