Integration Requirements for Audiences

Warning

Deprecation Notice
The Marketing version 202304 (Marketing April 2023) and below has been sunset and the unversioned APIs are going to be sunset soon. We recommend that you migrate to the versioned APIs as well as migrate to the new Content and Community Management APIs to avoid disruptions. See the Migration page for more details. If you haven’t yet migrated and have questions, submit a request on the LinkedIn Developer Support Portal.

LinkedIn is in the process of rolling out a Technical Sign Off process for the Audiences program. This ensures that our members get the best experience whether using LinkedIn's native UI or a partner product. The technical review and sign off also ensures that there are no gaps in integrations and that partner products keep up with the latest features and updates released by LinkedIn.

As an API partner, please go through the requirements listed below. These are the capabilities that an integrating partner is expected to build in their product. We request you to plan and incorporate these features early in your design. When you are nearing completion, you must initiate a Technical Sign Off request by contacting your LinkedIn POC on the Business Development team.

A Demo will be scheduled during which you will be asked to showcase all your product capabilities. During this evaluation, LinkedIn may suggest modifications which will need to be completed for the sign off. If all criteria are met (as per the envisioned scope), the technical sign-off is awarded.

Note

You can begin sharing your product with your Beta customers only after receiving the sign off.
