Example Request

curl -X POST https://flex.tntgrowth.io/api/linkedin/events/add \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"accountId": "510876543",
"conversionId": "12345678",
"conversionTime": 1778043599,
"userData": {
"email": "customer@example.com",
"phone": "+15551234567",
"liFatId": "AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOp"
},
"userInfo": {
"firstName": "Jane",

},
"utmSource": "linkedin",
"utmMedium": "paid-social",
"utmCampaign": "demand-gen-q2",
"utmTerm": "treatment programs",
"utmContent": "sponsored-content-variant-b"
}'

Example Response

{
"message": "Conversion successfully queued for LinkedIn! 510876543",
"data": {
"submissionId": "8f3c2d10-7e6b-4a51-9d8c-3b2e1f0a9b8c",
"duplicate": false
}
}

When a conversion is dedup-skipped (the same event was submitted within the last 24 hours), submissionId is null and duplicate is true.

Checking Submission Status

After submitting a conversion, use the submission ID to check processing status.

Endpoint

GET /api/conversions/submissions/:submissionId

Example Request

curl https://flex.tntgrowth.io/api/conversions/submissions/8f3c2d10-7e6b-4a51-9d8c-3b2e1f0a9b8c \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Example Response

{
"id": "8f3c2d10-7e6b-4a51-9d8c-3b2e1f0a9b8c",
"source": "LINKEDIN",
"externalAccountId": "510876543",
"expectedCount": 1,
"createdAt": "2026-05-11T12:00:00.000Z",
"scheduledFor": null,
"counts": {
"success": 1,
"failed": 0
},
"status": "complete"
}

Status Values

StatusDescription
pendingConversion is queued and waiting to be processed
pending_deliverySubmission is scheduled for future delivery. Currently only emitted by Google Ads ingest paths; LinkedIn submissions never enter this state.
completeConversion processed successfully
complete_with_errorsProcessing finished but some conversions failed — use GET /api/conversions/linkedin/failed?submissionId=<id> to fetch the actual error messages
stalledProcessing has not progressed — contact support

The scheduledFor field is always null for LinkedIn submissions and is included only for schema parity with Google Ads, which uses it for deferred delivery.

Inspecting Failed Conversions In Your Batch

When a submission ends with complete_with_errors, the submission status endpoint surfaces only the count of failed rows. Fetch the actual error messages with:

GET /api/conversions/linkedin/failed?submissionId=<submissionId>

The response payload mirrors the Google Ads failed-conversion shape — see Google Ads → Inspecting Failed Conversions In Your Batch.

Best Practices

  • Include liFatId when available — LinkedIn's first-party tracking ID provides the strongest attribution signal
  • Send userData with email and/or phone to improve match rates for offline events
  • Use accurate timestampsconversionTime should reflect when the conversion actually occurred
  • Match conversionId to the correct conversion rule in your LinkedIn Campaign Manager
  • Poll with a delay — wait 30-60 seconds after submission before checking status
