How to Handle Multi-Region Lead Tracking with Zapier and LinkedIn Conversions API
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Setting up cross-regional lead tracking doesn't have to be complicated. During a recent implementation with GR (a multinational review platform), we demonstrated efficient approaches for managing LinkedIn Conversions across multiple regions.
"We have different campaigns for different markets," explained Aylin, LinkedIn's Client Solutions Manager. "We're targeting different markets with separate accounts, so we need distinct tracking for each region."
The implementation revealed two key approaches:
- Using Path-Based Routing (Premium) "To do it in a much nicer way, we can add paths," explains Jay, Zapier implementation specialist. "You can add up to 10 different paths inside the Zap, replicating the same conversion tracking for each region."
- Separate Zaps (Free Alternative) "If you're using the free version, you'll need to create separate Zaps for each region," notes Jay. "While it requires more initial setup, it achieves the same result without premium features."
Best Practices for Regional Setup:
- Use clear naming conventions like "CAPI-NewLead-UK" or "CAPI-NewLead-DE"
- Implement consistent field mapping across all regions
- Add region-specific filters when necessary
- Maintain identical conversion event structures across regions
"Just make sure to create the conversion events in each account first," advises Mark, Digital Marketing Lead at GR. "Then you can replicate the Zap configuration across regions."
Pro Tip: While path-based routing offers more elegant management, separate Zaps can be more flexible for region-specific customizations.
"Sometimes we need different fields or triggers for different regions," notes Aylin. "Separate Zaps make these customizations easier to manage."
This multi-region approach ensures consistent lead tracking while maintaining regional autonomy - crucial for global businesses leveraging LinkedIn's advertising platform.
