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?

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.

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 theData Sources panel in Settings, you mist have the the ‘Admin’ user role in your Pressboard account.


Do all connections require logins?
