How to Disconnect a LinkedIn Ads Account from HubSpot

When you need to change your advertising setup, knowing how to disconnect a LinkedIn Ads account from HubSpot is essential. This guide walks you step by step through removing an individual ad account or fully disconnecting the LinkedIn integration, while understanding what happens to your existing data and campaigns.

Before You Disconnect LinkedIn from HubSpot

Before taking action in your portal, review how your LinkedIn Ads and HubSpot data work together so you do not lose important insight unexpectedly.

• Ad performance data that has already synced to your CRM will remain available in reporting.
• New ad interactions will stop syncing once the LinkedIn Ads connection is removed.
• Any active sync that relies on the LinkedIn integration will no longer update after disconnection.

If you plan to reconnect with a different LinkedIn user or ad account later, consider exporting key reports first so you have historical benchmarks available outside of HubSpot.

Options for Disconnecting LinkedIn from HubSpot

There are two primary ways to manage the LinkedIn Ads connection inside HubSpot:

1. Disconnect a single LinkedIn ad account from the ads tool.
2. Completely disconnect the LinkedIn network from your account settings.

Choose the option that matches your goal. If you only want to stop using one specific ad account but keep others active, remove just that account. If you want to end all LinkedIn advertising activity through HubSpot, disconnect the integration entirely.

How to Disconnect a Single LinkedIn Ad Account in HubSpot

Use this method when you want to stop managing one LinkedIn Ads account but keep the LinkedIn network connected to HubSpot for other accounts.

Step 1: Open the Ads Tool in HubSpot

1. In your HubSpot account, go to your main navigation.
2. Navigate to Marketing > Ads to open the ads dashboard.

The ads dashboard displays all ad networks and accounts currently connected to HubSpot.

Step 2: Locate the LinkedIn Account to Remove

1. Within the ads dashboard, find the list or table of connected ad accounts.
2. Identify the LinkedIn ad account you want to disconnect.

You may see multiple ad accounts if your team manages more than one brand or region in HubSpot.

Step 3: Disconnect the Chosen LinkedIn Account

1. Next to the LinkedIn ad account you want to remove, look for the option or menu that lets you manage that account.
2. Select the option to disconnect or remove the account from HubSpot.
3. Confirm the disconnection when prompted.

After you confirm, HubSpot stops syncing new data from that LinkedIn ad account. Historical performance data that already exists in your CRM and reports will still be accessible, but no further updates from this account will occur.

How to Fully Disconnect LinkedIn from HubSpot

If you no longer want to manage any LinkedIn advertising through HubSpot, disconnect the entire LinkedIn network integration instead of a single account.

Step 1: Open Your HubSpot Settings

1. In your HubSpot account, click the settings icon in the main navigation.
2. This opens the settings area where you manage connected apps, integrations, and account preferences.

Step 2: Navigate to the Ads Settings

1. In the left sidebar menu, locate the section for Marketing or Ads, depending on your portal layout.
2. Click Ads to open the ads settings screen.

From here, you can see each network that is connected to HubSpot, including LinkedIn, along with connection status and controls.

Step 3: Disconnect the LinkedIn Network

1. Find the LinkedIn network card within the ads settings page.
2. Click the option to disconnect or remove LinkedIn from HubSpot.
3. Review the warning message that explains how the disconnect will affect data sync and ad campaigns.
4. Confirm to complete the disconnection.

Once disconnected, HubSpot will no longer sync ad performance, leads, or engagement data from any LinkedIn ad account associated with that integration. Existing reports and records will keep historical information already synced before disconnection.

What Happens to Data After Disconnecting LinkedIn from HubSpot

Understanding data behavior is important when changing integrations in HubSpot so you can plan reporting and attribution correctly.

• Historical data: Metrics that already synced from LinkedIn into HubSpot will remain in your existing reports, dashboards, and CRM records.
• New data: After the disconnect, new impressions, clicks, and conversions on LinkedIn will not sync into HubSpot.
• Lists and audiences: Any active audience sync that relies on the LinkedIn connection will stop updating once the integration is removed.
• Reconnection: If you reconnect LinkedIn later, syncing resumes from that point, but data from the disconnected period may not backfill.

How to Remove HubSpot Permissions in LinkedIn

If you are fully retiring the integration, you may also want to remove HubSpot permissions directly inside LinkedIn for additional security and clarity.

Step 1: Sign In to LinkedIn

1. Log in to the LinkedIn profile that originally authorized the HubSpot connection.
2. Make sure this user has the proper advertising permissions for the LinkedIn Ads account.

Step 2: Open LinkedIn Settings & Privacy

1. Click your profile image in the top navigation bar.
2. Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Find HubSpot Under Permitted Services

1. In the settings area, open the Data privacy or similar section where third-party services are listed.
2. Look for a subsection such as Permitted services, Partners & services, or connected apps.
3. Locate HubSpot in the list of authorized services.

Step 4: Revoke HubSpot Access

1. Select HubSpot in the permitted services list.
2. Choose the option to remove or revoke access.
3. Confirm that you want to remove HubSpot permissions from LinkedIn.

After this step, LinkedIn is no longer authorized to share ad-related data with HubSpot until someone reauthorizes the integration in the future.

Best Practices When Changing LinkedIn Connections in HubSpot

Use these recommendations to keep your reporting and campaign management smooth when disconnecting or reconnecting LinkedIn Ads within HubSpot.

• Export key reports: Before disconnecting, download essential ad performance reports so you have offline copies.
• Notify your team: Let marketing, sales, and operations stakeholders know that LinkedIn will no longer sync into HubSpot after a certain date.
• Update documentation: Adjust any internal documentation that references LinkedIn workflows or automation dependent on HubSpot data.
• Plan reconnection: If you plan to reconnect a different LinkedIn user or ad account, document the previous configuration and timing of the change.
