You can send test leads through Lead Gen Forms to ensure the data is captured and available in the Download Lead report. It's useful to test Lead Gen Forms when integrating them with your marketing automation or CRM provider to verify the integration process has been successful.
Note: You’ll need Viewer access or higher to send test leads in Campaign Manager. To download test leads, you’ll also need Page admin (super admin, content admin, curator, or analyst) or Lead Gen Forms Manager access on the LinkedIn Page associated with the ad account.
To send a test lead:
-
Sign in to Campaign Manager.
-
If you need to switch accounts, click the account name in the upper-left corner of the page and select the correct account name from the dropdown.
-
Click Assets on the left menu and select Lead Gen Forms.
-
Click the More icon to the right of the Lead Gen form and click Send Test Lead from the pop-up.
-
Fill in all the required fields (First name, last name, email address) and click Send.
You can view test leads submitted by downloading your leads and viewing the Test Lead column of the report. TRUE indicates a test lead; FALSE indicates a real lead.
Notes:
-
If there are no real leads or test leads generated from a form, the Downloads leads option will be greyed out for that Lead Form and the leads number will be 0.
-
If you don’t have any real leads but you’ve successfully generated test leads, the leads number for the form will be listed as 0 but the Download leads option will be clickable for that form.
-
Sending a new test lead will overwrite your existing test lead.
