Announcing Required Actions for Customers Distributing to LinkedIn (11/1/19)
All LiveRamp customers with current distributions to LinkedIn will need to perform OAuth authorization in the Connect UI again starting on November 13, 2019 after 7:00 am (PST) to keep their distributions active. This process is required for all existing LinkedIn destination accounts activated before November 13.
Caution
Date Change: The original announcement listed a reauthorization date of October 3, 2019 but that date has now been changed to November 13. All current distributions to LinkedIn will continue to distribute and be refreshed until November 13, regardless of whether an additional authorization has already been performed.
See “Activate a Destination Account for OAuth Destinations” and follow the steps in the “Authorize After Destination Account Activation” section.
This is due to the fact that LinkedIn is making changes to its API that will require re-authorization.
Any destination accounts that are not re-OAuthed on November 13 will no longer distribute data to LinkedIn and active distributions will not be refreshed until the destination account is re-OAuthed.
Note
Can this be done now? The authorization steps should not be performed until November 13, 2019 after 7:00 am (PST).
Caution
API users: This also applies to customers who activated a LinkedIn destination account via our Distribution API. Starting on November 13, the steps in “Authorizing a Destination Account Using OAuth” will also need to be performed for any current distributions.
