Creating a datastream to collect data from LiftOff

The basics of creating a datastream to collect data from any data source are explained in our guide to Creating a datastream. This guide contains information about the specific steps to create a datastream to fetch data from LiftOff.

Authorization: Allow Adverity to access LiftOff

1. If you choose Access using your credentials or Access using someone else's credentials, in Set up or edit Applications, you or the person granting access must choose one of the following options:

   • Choose Grant access to all items, including those created in the future to give Adverity Applications to access all existing items and all items created in the future.

   • Choose Select specific items to which you want to grant access to only give Adverity Applications to access the selected items. Adverity will not automatically have access to items created in the future. You will need to grant Adverity access to any items created in the future.

   If you use your credentials to grant Adverity access to LiftOff, all the items available to you using your credentials will be visible in the Authorizations page to all Adverity users with permission to edit this authorization.

   If someone else uses their credentials to grant Adverity access to LiftOff, the same applies to the items available using their credentials.

   This is important to consider if you do not want all Adverity users with permission to edit the authorization to be able to see the details of the authorization items. For more information about user permissions, see Managing user permissions.

Configuration: Choose the data you want to collect from LiftOff

To choose what data to collect and customize the LiftOff datastream configuration, follow these steps:

1. (Optional) Rename your datastream.

2. In Apps and Campaigns, select the apps and campaigns for which to collect data. If you do not select any items in a drop-down list, Adverity collects data for all items in the drop-down list.

3. In Timezone, select the timezone in which the data will be reported. The default value is UTC.
