Default source/medium
LinkedIn allows running ads that do not lead directly to your website. This means that these types of campaigns can not have UTM-params and it is not possible to import them into Google Analytics or match them with website sessions due to limitations that require all imported costs to have campaign source and medium defined.
As a workaround, you can define default UTM-source and UTM-medium for your LinkedIn data source to manually attribute these costs to sessions with specified utm_source and utm_medium.
