FAQ
Why do I see an ID instead of the Creative Name?
Not all LinkedIn creatives have an associated creative name, but they all have Creative/Asset IDs. This CreativeAsset IDs are provided via LinkedIn API.
Why do some creatives have hyperlinked previews and some do not?
Not all LinkedIn creatives (i.e. Conversation Ads) can be previewed. Those that can will have a preview URL.
Why do my numbers in Terminus not match my numbers in LinkedIn?
When date cohorts include the last 24-48hrs, reporting in the LinkedIn UI will be more up to date then reporting in the Terminus UI. Reporting inside LinkedIn (UI) is near real-time, but importing reporting data into Terminus is not.
