Hello Tracklution Community,

We're excited to announce this month's product highlight: The highly-requested LinkedIn Connector is ready to rock and will be rolled out to our users during the next 2 weeks! This is the perfect opportunity for you to have a top-notch conversion tracking setup also towards LinkedIn and get the best out of LinkedIn advertising 😁

Why is it important to use the LinkedIn Connector?

If you have already installed Tracklution to your site, you are only a few clicks away from better LinkedIn tracking and the LinkedIn Conversions API! Tracklution enables you to send more – and more accurate – conversion data to LinkedIn. Avoid losing conversions and get better results from your LinkedIn ads!

If you haven’t yet installed Tracklution, that’s not a problem: Simply create an account and get started with better conversion tracking right away. In other words, with Tracklution you implement server-side tracking to your website in a matter of minutes, and the LinkedIn Connector is only one of many tools under our belt!

How to set up LinkedIn Ads (Ad Campaign Manager) with Tracklution?

Select the LinkedIn Connector from the "Connectors" section on your Tracking Container's main page. You will be redirected to the LinkedIn Connector's setup page.

  1. Authenticate your LinkedIn Account with Tracklution. Tracklution will redirect you back after you have authenticated.
  2. Select the Ad Account(s) you want to associate with Tracklution LinkedIn Connector and Conversion Rules.
  3. Enter the LinkedIn Partner ID associated with your Insight Tag. This is used for Conversion Event Deduplication.
  4. All done!

Now you have LinkedIn Insight Tag and LinkedIn Conversions API in use! Both methods are used to enable deduplication and data synchronization between the Insight Tag and Conversions API.

Minor Updates

Besides the brand new LinkedIn Connector, we've made some enhancements to the existing TikTok Connector. We also added some nice analytics candy for each Tracking Container, showing incoming and delivered events in total and per ad platform. This is especially useful for following trends and helps in noticing and debugging if something is wrong with your tracking. 👌️

We currently provide Connectors for:

  • Google Ads
  • Google Analytics 4
  • Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram)
  • Snapchat Ads
  • TikTok Ads
  • LinkedIn Ads
Which ad platforms should we next connect with? 🤓

Questions and answers

What does Tracklution actually do?

Tracklution sends conversion data directly to ad platforms (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, etc.) through server-side APIs. Instead of relying on browser pixels that get blocked by ad blockers, iOS privacy changes, and cookie restrictions, your data goes server-to-server. The result: ad platforms see more of your real conversions, their algorithms optimize better, and you get better ROAS.

What is server-side tracking?

Server-side tracking gathers first-party data directly on your website and sends tracking events to ad platforms via Conversion APIs. This approach bypasses restrictions from iOS devices, ad blockers, and privacy-focused browsers, providing more accurate data and making your paid advertising more efficient.

Is it just one setup that feeds data into all my ad platforms?

Yes. You install Tracklution once, connect your ad accounts, and it sends conversion data to all platforms simultaneously through their respective APIs (Meta CAPI, Google Ads API, TikTok Events API, etc.). No need to manage separate server-side setups for each platform.

How much more conversion data will my ad platforms actually see?

On average, clients report 34.2% more conversions compared to traditional browser-based pixels. This means the ad algorithms have significantly more signal to work with, which translates to 15-35% lower customer acquisition costs for most clients.

Do I need developers to set this up?

No. Setup takes 5-15 minutes depending on your platform. For Shopify, WooCommerce, and other supported platforms, it is plug-and-play. You do not need custom coding or engineering resources. For GTM users, you can keep your existing setup and add Tracklution alongside it.

Do I need to remove my existing tracking tags?

Not necessarily. Tracklution works alongside your current setup. You can run both in parallel initially to compare data, then decide whether to simplify.

What about the DNS / CNAME setup?

Tracklution uses a first-party CNAME record on your domain for data collection. This takes a couple of minutes to configure and up to 48 hours to propagate. It is what makes the tracking resistant to ad blockers and browser restrictions.

Can I verify that the data is actually more accurate?

Yes. Run Tracklution alongside your existing tracking and compare. The dashboard also shows "recovered events" so you can see exactly how many conversions would have been missed without server-side tracking.

Can I distinguish between organic and paid traffic?

Yes. Tracklution preserves traffic source attribution. The conversion data sent to each ad platform includes the proper attribution parameters.

What about offline conversions (phone calls, in-store, CRM events)?

Tracklution supports offline conversion tracking through webhooks and CRM integrations. If someone clicks an ad, then converts offline, you can feed that back to the ad platforms. Clients using this see up to 35% reduction in acquisition costs because the algorithms learn from the full conversion picture.

How does this work with cookie consent and CMP tools?

Tracklution supports both Basic and Advanced Consent Mode. It reads your CMP data layer automatically and respects user consent choices. In Advanced Consent Mode, it can still collect anonymized, cookieless data when users decline cookies, which helps ad platform modeling without violating privacy rules. Fully GDPR-compliant.

How is this different from Stape or building your own sGTM setup?

Stape provides server-side GTM hosting, which means you still need to build and maintain the tags, triggers, and configuration yourself. Tracklution is a complete solution: plug-and-play setup, automatic event detection, built-in consent management, a real-time analytics dashboard, and ongoing maintenance of all API connections. When ad platforms change their APIs (which happens often), we handle the updates.

How does the agency partner model work?

Single dashboard to manage all client accounts. Each client has their own tracking container. The platform handles all technical maintenance, so you are not stuck troubleshooting API changes or broken tracking.
