Select Accounts
Select LinkedIn Ads accounts to use in other nodes
The Select Accounts node lets you define which LinkedIn Ads accounts to use in downstream nodes. You can select them manually, fetch all available, or use filters. This is an AI-powered node that can understand natural language instructions.
This node simplifies workflows with multiple LinkedIn Ads steps by centralizing account selection.
When to Use It
Use this node when:
- You want to avoid selecting the same LinkedIn Ads accounts in every report node
- You’re building larger workflows and want to manage account selection dynamically
- You need to reuse a filtered group of accounts based on naming or ID
- Building an AI agent that needs to list accounts before running reports
Inputs
Field | Type | Required | Description |

Accounts | Multi-select | Yes (manual) | Manually select LinkedIn Ads accounts to use in later nodes |
Filters | Text filter | Yes (if filter mode) | Filter accounts by name or ID using text conditions |

Selection Modes
