Historically, the LinkedIn Campaign Manager supported a two-tier campaign structure, i.e. Campaigns and Ads. However, with the introduction of Campaign Groups to its hierarchy, LinkedIn has migrated from its two-tier campaign structure to a three-tier campaign structure. We have updated our platform to include LinkedIn Campaign Groups to align with the native platform. You will be able to create and report on LinkedIn Campaign Groups in Sprinklr. This will ensure a more seamless experience by removing friction due to LinkedIn and Sprinklr differences.

In this article, we will guide you through the LinkedIn structure nuances in Sprinklr as a result of the migration.
