A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our website design for small business work.
How GitHub and LinkedIn Ads records line up
GitHub and LinkedIn Ads share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in GitHub deployments can be read against what LinkedIn Ads recorded in the same hours.
What predictive forecasting uses from each
Predictive forecasting needs enough history to see the seasonal pattern.
From GitHub that means the release calendar. From LinkedIn Ads it means spend and leads by week.
LinkedIn Ads is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
LinkedIn Ads on its own
LinkedIn sees clicks, lead-form submissions and the companies it reached. It never sees whether a lead became a deal.
Timing. LinkedIn reports conversions under its own windows, thirty days after a click and seven after a view by default.
Access. The LinkedIn Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
