Zapier LinkedIn Integration in 2025: How it works [+ Actionable templates inside]

This blog is for you if…

You’re in B2B sales and still not using  LinkedIn for prospecting? ..

Can we talk for a sec?

You’re making life wayy harder for yourself, and giving your competitors a head start.

Hey, I don’t wanna come off as dramatic..

But building your brand and finding new prospects on LinkedIn has become a must for any company aiming to grow.

And trying to keep up with everything on LinkedIn manually?

That’s just exhausting.

Which is why tools like Zapier exist.

And with the Zapier LinkedIn integration, you can create smart, automated workflows so you can get more done with less effort.

Oh, and just between us?

There’s an even better way to handle leads and outreach without lifting a finger.

Stick around, and I’ll spill all the deets. 😉

What is Zapier?

Imagine if you had to work with a bunch of apps every day.

Like Gmail, Slack, or Google Sheets, and you had to keep doing the same tasks over and over.

Copying this from here, pasting it there, and doing it repeatedly.

Nobody loves it, unless..

Now, what if someone behind the scenes connected these apps and did the work for you automatically?

In Zapier, a workflow is created by creating “Zaps.”

A Zap is a set of instructions: When this happens in one app, do that in another.

For example:

• When I get a new email with an attachment (Gmail), save it to Google Drive.
• When someone fills out my form (Typeform), send me a message in Slack.

It’s super simple because you don’t need to know any coding to be able to do this.  

You just pick the apps, tell Zapier what you want to happen, and it takes care of the rest.

How does it work?

Zapier works by connecting your apps and automating tasks between them, so you don’t have to do things manually.

Here’s how this process works step-by-step:

1. Create a new zap: Head to your Zapier dashboard and click “Make a Zap.”
2. Pick a trigger app: Choose the app that you want your workflow to start with. For example, if you want your CRM to kick things off, select that as your trigger.
3. Pick a trigger event: This is the event that starts everything. For example, “A new contact gets added to my CRM.”
4. Pick an action app: Now, choose the app where the action will take place. For instance, if you want to log the contact details in a spreadsheet, go for Google Sheets.
5. Set the action event: Tell Zapier what you want to happen in the action app. Maybe it’s creating a new row in your Google Sheet with all the contact info.

But remember to give it a test run to make sure everything’s working right.

Zapier will simulate the trigger and action to make sure it all flows smoothly.

And if the test goes well, turn on your Zap, it’ll run automatically, doing the work for you every time the trigger happens.

See how simple that was?

What is Zapier LinkedIn integration?

LinkedIn doesn’t offer built-in automation for its tasks.

Zapier is a no-code tool that lets you automate tasks across multiple apps and services, without needing any coding skills.

Setting up a Zap requires picking a trigger that sets off an action, transferring data between apps directly.

Let’s take Lead Gen forms as an example.

In this Zap, the trigger would be when someone fills out your Lead Gen form, and the action would be automatically adding that lead to your CRM.

Zapier acts as the connector, moving prospect information between your LinkedIn ads and CRM, sending thank you emails, and more.

All automatically.

When integrated with LinkedIn, it also helps with:

• Conversion Tracking.
• LinkedIn Ads.
• Lead Gen Forms.
• Matched Audiences.
• Pages.
• Webhooks (for custom use cases).

By now you should have a good understanding of how Zapier works, let’s take a look at what you can use it for:

LinkedIn automation

Even though LinkedIn Ads automation is one of the main features of the Zapier LinkedIn integration, it’s not the only thing that you can do.

You can also automate sharing RSS items as company updates on LinkedIn.

And it doesn’t stop there;

You can set up similar Zaps to share posts from other social platforms like:

• Facebook.
• Instagram.
• YouTube.

You can also promote LinkedIn events with Zaps:

• New event in EventBrite.
• Post Eventable events on LinkedIn

On the topic of keeping your LinkedIn profile fresh, you can even automate posting new job openings to attract top talent.

Here are a couple of Zaps to help you out: 😉:

• New job listings in Shopire.
• New job listings in Jobtoolz.

Zapier also helps you automate your email marketing campaigns, blog posts, and even Tweets.

Basically, putting your social sharing and marketing on autopilot.

LinkedIn Conversions automation

If you’re a sales professional using LinkedIn as a lead gen channel  in your cold outreach strategy, LinkedIn Conversions is a must-have tool.

If you’re wondering why,

Because it helps you track how well your LinkedIn is working to attract potential long-term customers.

You can also do that if you want to have records on your prospect behaviour patterns.

For example, new product signups from your website, CRM, or database, can be sent directly to LinkedIn.

Here are a couple of Zaps you’ll need to connect form submissions from your CRM to LinkedIn Conversions:

• Hubspot.
• Salesforce.

And when it comes to LinkedIn Ads, you can set up a Zap to send a conversion event whenever someone interacts with your personalized ad.

This way, you can track the impact of your ad campaigns easily.

LinkedIn Ads automation

If you have the right workflow, LinkedIn Ads can generate high-quality leads for you.

On autopilot.

But you need to set up your LinkedIn Lead Gen forms first. 😄.

We’ve got a lot of area to cover here, so we’ll take this step-by-step:

1. Notify your sales team:

You can set up a Zap that notifies your team every time a new lead is captured, directly in your preferred team chat app.

Here are some options:

• LinkedIn + Slack.
• LinkedIn + Emails by Zapier.
• LinkedIn + Webhooks.

2. Automate prospect data transfer to your CRM:

Keeping your prospect data in one place, like a CRM, is crucial.

Here are some Zaps to transfer your prospect data from LinkedIn Conversions to your CRM:

• Hubspot.
• Salesforce.

3. Connect LinkedIn Ads to webhooks:

While Zapier already integrates with several popular apps, it’s still possible to face an issue where you might not find what you’re looking for.

This is where you can use webhooks by Zapier.

Webhooks allow you to integrate LinkedIn Lead Gen form responses with apps that Zapier doesn’t support by default.

You can:

• Lead Gen form responses to webhooks.
• Custom webhooks request for new Lead Gen form responses.

4. Add leads to marketing campaigns:

If you've been nurturing leads for a while, you know that engaging them through multiple channels is essential.

When you’re running LinkedIn ads and want to follow up with leads through cold email campaigns, you don’t want to add them one by one manually.

Use these Zaps to automate the process:

• Send emails with Gmail.
• Add new leads as subscribers on MailChimp.
• Add new leads as subscribers on AWeber.

5. Automate prospect retargeting with Matched Audiences:

LinkedIn Matched Audiences are important when you depend on LinkedIn ads to retarget leads who are your website visitors.

You can also target leads based on info such as their email and account information.

You can use these Zaps to bring leads from your CRMs:

• Salesforce to LinkedIn Matched Audiences segment.
• Pipedrive to LinkedIn Matched Audiences segment.
• Hubspot to LinkedIn Matched Audiences segment.

Let’s say a new customer buys something on your eCommerce platform.

Obviously you’re not going to just stop there.

You have to re-target them with automated emails to encourage them to return.

Re-target the customer to incentivize returning to your store with an automated email:

• Add Shopify customers to a LinkedIn Matched Audiences segment.
• Add PayPal customers to a LinkedIn Matched Audiences segment.
• Add Stripe customers to a LinkedIn Matched Audiences segment.

Your event and webinar attendees are already qualified leads, so add them to your LinkedIn Matched Audiences segment with these Zaps:

• Add Eventbrite attendees to Matched Audiences.
• Add Go-To Webinar attendees to Matched Audiences.
• Add AddNew attendees to Matched Audiences.

These Zap templates are ready for you to use with the Zapier LinkedIn integration.

But there’s still one important piece missing from your marketing strategy:

There’s no reliable outreach solution with the Zapier LinkedIn integration.

Granted, you can automate thank-you emails to re-engage prospects.

But that works only if they first show interest in your product and business solutions.

What about those potential leads who haven’t even heard of you yet?

By not reaching out to them first, you’re hurting your lead gen significantly.

How do you solve it?

Using an automation tool that:

• Generates leads
• Nurtures them until they convert into paying customers
• Follows up until they do
• Stores prospect data in your CRM.

Of course, on auto-pilot.

It may sound unreal right now..
