How much historical data is synced when you first connect App Store Connect to Databox?

Pro Tip: Once your App Store Connect Data Source is connected and actively syncing data, we store the data that's collected in our own database. This allows us to accumulate more data over time as more data syncs are made so that you can report on more historical App Store Connect data in your Databox reports. Learn more here.

How to access pre-built App Store Connect Templates
Pro Tip: Once the Databoard is available on the Databoards page, it is completely disconnected from the public Template. Therefore, you can further customize this Databoard to meet your specific needs using the Designer.
