A guide on connecting all the data sources you need for branded content within your account.
When do I connect my data sources?
As soon as you get access to your Pressboard account! It's a key step outlined in our Self Start Onboarding process. Only after you finalise connections to the external platforms you rely most on for branded content will you be able to get rolling with syncing data in Pressboard and campaign reporting.
Which external data sources does Pressboard support?
Refer to What We Measure for more information about the Data Sources we currently support.
Where can I find Data Sources?
Navigate to your user profile (top-right), go to 'Settings' from the drop-down menu and click on the 'Data Sources' tab in the panel that opens.

What do I need to add a Data Source?
You must have an appropriate level of permissions and credentials for each external platform (usually a log in). To access the Data Sources panel in Settings, you must have the the ‘Admin’ user role in your Pressboard account.
When the status of a Data Source connection is 'disabled'?
The below warning in your account will notify users of expired connections in your account which happens when users' (Admins) permissions have been changed, revoked, downgraded in the respective external platforms. As a result the users' access tokens will expire and become invalid, impacting automated syncs on in-flight campaigns.
Admins are required to reconnect the relevant accounts/profiles within Data Sources which will override any existing invalid connections.
Do all connections require logins?
With the exception of a few, including, Polar Media Voice, Responsive Ads, SeenThis and Spaceback, a log in is required to finalise connections. You will be prompted with a message to "contact your customer support representative" in cases where any backend setup in needed to receive data.
