How to connect a Data Source to Databox

Databox’s flexible data architecture enables you to connect to almost all the data sources you care about, ranging from programs like Google Analytics, HubSpot, Zendesk and Salesforce to Google spreadsheets (via Zapier integration), custom data or even Structured Query Language (SQL).

Navigate to "Data Manager" in the top menu and make sure that "Data Sources" is selected in the submenu.

Click on the green "+ New Connection" button in the top right of the app.

Find the Data Source logotype and click "Connect".

That is it! You have successfully connected a Data Source with Databox!
