What each tool sees on its ownShow less
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.
Zendesk on its own
Zendesk sees the complaint and how it was handled. It cannot see what the customer is worth or whether they bought again.
Timing. Zendesk timestamps every ticket, reply and status change.
Access. The Zendesk Support API with a read-only token.
