Getting Started

Everything you need to connect your advertising accounts and start benefiting from the Annalect data lake.

How the onboarding works

Connecting your advertising accounts to Annalect is a straightforward process. You remain in full control of your data at all times, we only ever request read-only access to the platforms you choose to connect unless otherwise specified. The typical onboarding takes a day from first contact to live data flowing into the Data Lake and any associated dashboards.

1

Confirm you have admin access

Before starting, make sure you have administrator rights on the advertising platform(s) you want to connect. Admin access is required regardless of which platform you are onboarding.

2

Check the onboarding method for your platform

We are working towards a single, unified onboarding experience for all platforms, but today the process can differ depending on the data source. Head to the Data Source Guides page, find your platform, and follow the step-by-step guide. It will tell you exactly how to grant access.

3

Select the advertisers to include

During onboarding you choose which advertiser accounts should be added to the data lake. Only the advertisers you select will be ingested — you can always add more later.

4

Historical data pull & go live

Once you have completed the onboarding, we automatically run a historical data pull. By the next day your data will be available in the Annalect data lake and any associated dashboards — no ongoing effort required from your side.
