Bulk actions allow you to create or edit multiple LinkedIn ad sets and campaigns using a CSV template.
If there are errors in your uploaded CSV file, its status will be listed as Completed with errors. You can update your template and re-import it to correct the errors.
You can view your most recent imports, the import status, the number of errors, and download an error report from the Bulk Imports page of your account. Check the Import status column for imports completed with errors.
Keep in mind, if you upload a file and it has errors, the ad set changes that you made correctly in the CSV file will immediately go into effect, but the status of the import will be listed as Completed with errors. The Errors column displays the number of remaining errors.
To make corrections to your bulk import file:
-
Go to your ad account in Campaign Manager.
-
Click Advertise on the left menu.
-
Click the Bulk Actions
button and select View import history from the dropdown. -
Click the checkbox next to the file you want to correct and select Download Errors from the Download dropdown at the top of the page.
- You can also click the number in the Errors column to download the Errors CSV file.
-
Errors will be listed in Column U of the CSV file with guidance on how to correct them.
-
Update the CSV fields to correct errors and resave your file as a CSV.
-
Re-import your updated template by selecting Import file on the Bulk Imports page.

When reviewing error messages, keep in mind that certain objectives have limitations on which ad formats you can select. Review the chart of dependencies between ad objectives and ad formats to ensure your CSV file doesn’t have an ad format assigned to an incompatible objective.
