What you'll need
- An active Google Analytics account
- An active LinkedIn account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Google Analytics
Click "Add Connection" and select Google Analytics from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Google Analytics's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your dashboards, reports, and datasets. You select which data sources the integration can read.
- Step 03
Authenticate LinkedIn
Same process for LinkedIn. Click "Add Connection," select LinkedIn, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your campaigns, audiences, and analytics data. You control which lists and campaigns the integration can modify.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: report generated in google analytics or new subscriber in linkedin. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: add subscriber in linkedin. Map the data fields between Google Analytics and LinkedIn so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Google Analytics to LinkedIn?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Google Analytics and LinkedIn via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing data analytics events to marketing actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Google Analytics and LinkedIn?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Google Analytics events to LinkedIn actions, trigger LinkedIn updates when Google Analytics data changes, create LinkedIn records from Google Analytics events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Google Analytics and LinkedIn integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Google Analytics-to-LinkedIn workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Google Analytics data secure when connected to LinkedIn?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Google Analytics or LinkedIn passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your data analytics data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Google Analytics and LinkedIn?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Analytics or LinkedIn. For example, create a workflow where Google Analytics events update LinkedIn, and a separate one where LinkedIn changes sync back to Google Analytics. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Google Analytics and LinkedIn?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Google Analytics and LinkedIn, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
