# 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                                                    |
| ------------------ | --------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Selection Mode** | Select dropdown | Yes                  | Choose how to define your accounts: manual, all, or filtered   |
| **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            |
| **Limit**          | Number          | No                   | Max number of accounts to return in **filter** or **all** mode |

***

## Selection Modes

* **Manual Selection**: Pick specific accounts one by one
* **Select All Available**: Automatically includes all LinkedIn Ads accounts tied to the authenticated connection
* **Filter by Name/ID**: Define rules (e.g., "Name contains 'campaign'") to select accounts dynamically

The **Accounts**, **Filters**, and **Limit** fields will appear or hide automatically based on your selection mode.

***

## Output

The node returns the selected **account IDs** and **account information** under a `data` key. You can reference this in any downstream LinkedIn Ads node.

**Account Selection Output:**

* **Account IDs**: Unique identifiers for selected accounts
* **Account Names**: Human-readable names for each account

***

## Credit Cost

* **Cost per run**: 0 credits (account selection is free)

***

## Example Usage

```plaintext theme={"dark"}
Select Accounts →
Get Report →
AI Analysis →
Email Report
```

**Configuration Example:**

* **Selection Mode**: Filter by Name
* **Filter**: "Name contains 'Q4 Campaign'"
* **Limit**: 3 accounts

This would select up to 3 LinkedIn Ads accounts with "Q4 Campaign" in their name.

## FAQs

<Accordion title="Why can't I see all my LinkedIn ad accounts?">
  Make sure you have the correct permissions in LinkedIn Campaign Manager. You need at least **Account Manager** access to view account data. Also verify that you're logged in with the correct LinkedIn account that has access to your business accounts.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="What's the difference between account ID and account name?">
  * **Account ID**: A unique numeric identifier that never changes
  * **Account Name**: A human-readable name that can be changed in Campaign Manager

  Always use account IDs for reliable automation, especially if account names might change.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why do I need Administrator role for some features?">
  LinkedIn requires **Administrator role type** for certain data types, particularly Company Demographic Reports. If you need access to demographic data, contact your LinkedIn account administrator to request Administrator permissions.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I select accounts from multiple LinkedIn organizations?">
  Yes, if your LinkedIn user has access to multiple organizations, you'll see accounts from all of them. The node will show which organization each account belongs to help you distinguish between them.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why is an account showing as inactive?">
  Accounts may appear inactive if:

  * **No recent campaigns**: No active campaigns in the last 30 days
  * **Disabled account**: Account has been disabled in Campaign Manager
  * **Billing issues**: Payment problems preventing campaign delivery
  * **Policy violations**: Account restricted due to policy violations
  * **Draft/Paused status**: All campaigns are in draft or paused status
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How often is the account list updated?">
  The account list is refreshed every time you run this node. If you've recently gained access to new accounts or accounts have been added to your organization, run this node again to see the updated list.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why do I get 'REVOKED_ACCESS_TOKEN' error?">
  This error occurs when your LinkedIn credentials have expired. LinkedIn has a security policy requiring credential updates once a year. To fix this:

  1. Reconnect your LinkedIn data source
  2. Re-authenticate with your LinkedIn account
  3. This will update your credentials and restore access
