Troubleshoot `REVOKED_ACCESS_TOKEN` in LinkedIn Ads

Your LinkedIn Ads data sources stop downloading and show a 401 Unauthorized error.

Your LinkedIn Ads data sources stop downloading and show an authorization error after they were working previously.

​

Error message or symptoms

The API responded with: 401 Unauthorized and the message 'REVOKED_ACCESS_TOKEN'.

​

When does this occur

  • A LinkedIn Ads data source that previously downloaded successfully starts failing

  • LinkedIn credentials have not been refreshed within LinkedIn's required period (credentials must be updated at least once per year)

​

Root cause

LinkedIn revokes or expires access tokens according to its security policy. When the token is no longer valid, Funnel cannot authenticate to download data.

​

Solution

  1. In Funnel, go to Data > Data sources.

    ​

  2. Open the affected LinkedIn Ads source and reconnect it to refresh credentials.

    ​

  3. Confirm the download succeeds on the next scheduled run.

​

For background on programmatic refresh tokens, see LinkedIn's documentation.
