Option 12: Set up MS Excel as Data Destination for LinkedIn Lead Generation Ads

Video Walkthrough

Description  :

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program from Microsoft’s Office suite that enables users to organize, format, and calculate data. With Datahash, you can export your LinkedIn Lead Ads data directly into Excel, ensuring structured storage and easy access for analysis.

Prerequisites:  

  • A valid Microsoft account with access to OneDrive or SharePoint for file storage.

Getting Started:  

  • Go to Datahash Studio and log in with your credentials.
  • Navigate to the Files category under Destinations in the right panel.
  • Click on the Microsoft Excel connector tile.

Configure LinkedIn Lead Ads Source  

  • Sign in with your Microsoft account.
  • Grant the requested permissions to allow Datahash to store and update Excel files.
  • Select LinkedIn Lead Ads as the source type.
  • Choose the existing LinkedIn Lead Ads connection name from the Source connector.
  • Provide a name for the spreadsheet and select the folder where you want the file to be stored.
  • Click Validate Credentials to confirm the setup.
  • Once validated, the file path will be displayed.

During setup:

  • A folder named Datahash will be created in the location you select (or directly in your OneDrive root if no folder is chosen).
  • Inside this folder, a sub-folder will be created, named after your LinkedIn Lead Ads connection.
  • A spreadsheet will be created here, and new data will automatically be appended to the same file over time.
  • Once credentials are verified, click Finish.
  • The connected instance will now appear in the dashboard.

Managing Instances  

Adding a New Instance  

  • Follow the same setup process:
    • Click on ‘Edit’ icon
  • Select LinkedIn Lead Ads source type.
  • Provide spreadsheet name and folder path.
    Once done, click on Validate credentials to proceed.
  • Validate credentials.
  • Once validated, the file path will be displayed.
  • Once validated, the file path will be displayed.
  • Click Finish to complete the setup.
  • The new instance (e.g., Ads connection 2) will appear in the manage instances table.

Editing an Existing Instance  

  • In the dashboard, click on the connection name in the manage instances table.
  • Click the Edit icon (top right corner) to enable edit mode.
  • Update the required fields (e.g., spreadsheet name, folder path).
  • Click Validate Credentials to confirm updates.
  • If you click Cancel, the previous configuration remains active. Updates are only applied after clicking Finish.
  • Click Finish to complete the edit process.
