Configure a Data Download Connection

Connectors are a system for all batch data file transfers between impact.com and brands, partners, or other parties. Each connection (an individual connector) has certain attributes, such as the data type (clicks, conversions, product catalogs, etc.), direction (inbound or outbound), method (SFTP, FTP, Email), and more.

The Connector Wizard allows you to set up connections to other platforms so that impact.com can automatically batch process the data to deliver enriched data to your systems.

Create an outbound connection

  1. From the top navigation bar, select [User profile] → Settings.

  2. In the left column, under Technical, select Connections.

  3. Select Create Connection in the top right to access the Connector wizard.

    • You can't delete a connection once it's been created.
