LinkedIn Ads Migration Guide

Upgrading to 4.0.0

Version 3.X.X introduced a regression in the connector that was reverted in 4.0.0. If you were using 3.X.X, please go through the migration steps. If you were still using 2.X.X, please upgrade to 4.0.0; after that, there are no additional actions required.

Migration Steps

Clearing your data is required for the affected streams in order to continue syncing successfully. To clear your data for the affected streams, follow the steps below:

    1. Select the connection(s) affected by the update.
  2. Select the Schema tab.
  3. Uncheck all streams except the affected ones.
  4. Select Save changes at the bottom of the page.
  5. Select the Settings tab.
  6. Press the Clear your data button.
  7. Return to the Schema tab.
  8. Check all your streams.

This will clear the data in your destination for the subset of streams with schema changes. After the clear succeeds, trigger a sync by clicking Sync Now. For more information on clearing your data in Airbyte, see this page.

Upgrading to 3.0.0

We're continuously striving to enhance the quality and reliability of our connectors at Airbyte. As part of our commitment to delivering exceptional service, we are transitioning source-linkedin-ads from the Python Connector Development Kit (CDK) to our innovative low-code framework. This is part of a strategic move to streamline many processes across connectors, bolstering maintainability and freeing us to focus more of our efforts on improving the performance and features of our evolving platform and growing catalog. However, due to differences between the Python and low-code CDKs, this migration constitutes a breaking change.
