| `account` | DynamicAccount | Yes | - | LinkedIn Ads account to retrieve leads from. |
| `lead_form` | string or SelectItem | No | - | Optional lead form ID to filter by. Leave empty to retrieve leads from all forms in the account. Use linkedin\_ads\_list\_lead\_forms to find form IDs. |
| `date_range` | DateRange | No | - | Optional submitted-at date range filter. Supports custom date ranges and presets. Note that LinkedIn retains lead data for a limited time, so older leads are not available. |

| `limit` | integer | No | - | Maximum number of leads to return. Leave empty to retrieve all available leads. |

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `start` | string | No | - | The start date of the date range to query, format: YYYY-MM-DD or dynamic node reference like \{\{nodeId\_\_data.start\_date}}. Required when preset is 'FIXED' or 'CUSTOM'. |
| `end` | string | No | - | The end date of the date range to query, format: YYYY-MM-DD or dynamic node reference like \{\{nodeId\_\_data.end\_date}}. Required when preset is 'FIXED' or 'CUSTOM'. |
| `preset` | string | No | - | Predefined date ranges or input modes: - Use 'FIXED' or leave empty when you want to specify exact dates (YYYY-MM-DD format) in start/end fields - Use 'CUSTOM' when you want to use dynamic values from other nodes (\{\{nodeId\_\_data.start\_date}} format) in start/end fields - Use other presets (TODAY, YESTERDAY, LAST\_7\_DAYS, etc.) for predefined date ranges (start/end will be ignored) LAST\_N\_MONTHS and LAST\_N\_WEEKS are complete calendar periods ending with last month or last week, so they exclude the current month or week; for a rolling window up to yesterday use LAST\_N\_DAYS (for example LAST\_90\_DAYS) or a FIXED range. When using 'FIXED' or 'CUSTOM', both start and end fields are required. |
| `compare` | CompareOptions | No | - | Optional comparison date range settings. ALWAYS use this field for comparisons; DO NOT create additional requests or nodes, as the backend returns current, comparison, and delta metrics in a single call. |
