LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms are a total game-changer for B2B marketers. They let you grab key lead information straight from LinkedIn ads—without LinkedIn members ever needing to leave the social network. With more and more LinkedIn users interacting with posts without ever leaving their feed, and social media algorithms favoring engagement over link clicks routing members to third-party websites, there’s a golden opportunity for B2B brands to capture high-quality leads in an easy, no-hassle way for your audience looking to sign up for your services, subscribe to your content, or register for your events.

Recognizing this trend, and as part of our growing partnership with LinkedIn, Oktopost is pumped to roll out our LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms Integration— an easy way to capture and sync LinkedIn lead form data directly into Oktopost and understand how your audience is engaging with yet another form of content.

Introducing LinkedIn Lead Gen Form Integration

Oktopost’s LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms Integration shows that modern marketers can effectively leverage both organic and paid social activities when the customer journey can be measured.

With this seamless integration, you can automatically sync all leads captured through LinkedIn Lead Gen ad forms directly into Contacts & Accounts, along with standard social engagement data. This helps you gain a deeper understanding of each prospect’s journey.

Here’s what you gain with this integration:

• Smart Lead Capture: Instantly link form submissions from LinkedIn to your Oktopost platform.
• Seamless marketing automation integration: Route all your LinkedIn lead gen form data directly to your marketing automation platform (Marketo, Eloqua, or HubSpot).
• Actionable insights: Capture form data and activity insights to enhance your outreach and nurture campaigns.

This powerful integration ensures your marketing technology works together to capture, link, and provide valuable insights into prospect activity.

No more guessing: Organic vs. Paid

You don’t have to guess anymore—paid improves organic, and organic enhances paid. Just like Oktopost tracks social conversions, you can now track conversions from LinkedIn lead gen forms, providing a comprehensive view of your customer journey and which style post resonates better with your audience and boosts more conversions.

With this integration, you’ll clearly see how both organic and paid efforts contribute to conversions, all within the Oktopost platform.

Break down silos: get the full picture

In today’s marketing game, measuring engagement from social media means connecting your paid and organic social efforts and the rest of your engagement data with your entire martech stack to unsilo data and make better decisions.
When you break down silos, you get a full picture of how your audience interacts with your brand. Oktopost’s powerful LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms Integration lets you track how your paid ads impact organic engagement and vice versa, letting you see each engagement directly in Contacts & Accounts for a serious ability to fine-tune social campaigns and drive more conversions across the board.
