Create a Destination Connection
You can create destination connections during the process of creating a data delivery group or outside of that process. The steps are essentially the same, no matter which method you choose.
To create a destination connection:
Start the process by opening the Destination Connection Builder in one of the following ways:
From the Quick Actions drop-down list in the navigation pane, click Add Destination Connection.
During the process of creating a data delivery group and selecting the integrations to send your data to, click .
A new browser tab opens and displays the Destination Connection Builder.
Select the desired integration (such as “Facebook (US)”) and then click .
Note
The integration list table and the side panel display the data type (for example, first-party data) and identifier types that can be sent through the integration, as well as whether that destination supports Record Sync (which sends record deletions to the destination platform). For more information on Record Sync, see "Keep Destination Data Fresh with Record Sync".
Configure the properties required for the integration, such as your account ID (LinkedIn example shown - other integrations might require different properties).
Note
Helper text appears on the right side of the screen with information on filling out these fields.
Enter a name for the destination connection.
If OAuth authorization is required for the destination, click and then follow the authorization process at the destination's website (for platform-specific instructions, see the sections below) (Pinterest example shown):
Note
A success message appears when a new OAuth connection is successfully created. If you have trouble creating the new OAuth connection, check the OAuth instructions for the destination to make sure you have the appropriate permission level to perform authorization.
Click .
If you were in the process of creating an data delivery group, you can return to that tab and continue the destination connection selection process.
If you created the destination connection from the Destination Connections page, you will be returned to that page and the new connection appears in your list of connections.
