Connection Authentication
ChannelMix's integration with StactAdapt can be configured by selecting the StackAdapt icon located in the Control Center Connection page. The source connections uses an API Token to authenticate your StackAdapt account so ChannelMix can automate reports. If you need help access your StackAdapt API token, please contact you StackAdapt account manager.
After providing a valid API Token, you'll need to associate a ChannelMix Profile to a StackAdapt Advirtiser account. This relationship will help ChannelMix classify your StackAdapt data into appropriate groups so that your ETL reporting processes stay organized.
ChannelMix Profile
A profile in ChannelMix will be a one-to-one relationship to an advertiser ID. If no advertiser ID is provided then ALL advertisers the API Token has access to can be returned however, this is not recommended.
Time Zones
StackAdapt allows users to setup a default time zone on your StackAdapt account. When pulling data at the ChannelMix will use the default time zone on the account OR the time zone associated to individual campaigns (if campaign time zone is not specified then account time zone is used).
ChannelMix can not currently support time zone conversions for this connection.
