Authorize Connections



Third party integration with a wide variety of data sources including Google Analytics, Search Console, Google Drive, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn,  Twitter, and more begins with the account level authorization in your Account Settings > Authorized Connections screen.

Important! Certain social networks automatically expire your tokens (connections) to external applications every 60 days and therefore require periodic re-connection. Please be advised that failure to renew the connection can result in missing data in White Label PDF Reports and Client Dashboards.
