You can connect to data sources from the [Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management). On the Hub, you can also [share an authentication link](https://docs.supermetrics.com/v1/docs/how-to-connect-to-data-sources-from-supermetrics-hub#share-authentication-link) to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to. After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in [all available destinations](/docs/impact-connection-guide#connection-instructions). ## Required permissions Before using the Impact connector, you need a copy of your account SID and auth token. To get the account SID and auth token: 1. Log in to the [Impact.com platform](https://app.impact.com/login.user). 2. From the bottom left, navigate to **Settings**. 3. Under **Technical**, navigate to **API**. 4. Under the **API Access** tab, you can find your **Account SID** and **Auth Token**. ### Scopes The following scopes are required to pull data from Impact: | Scope | API path | Method | | --- | --- | --- | | Accounts | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/CompanyInformation` | `GET` | | Actions | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/Actions` | `GET` | | Campaigns | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/Campaigns` | `GET` | | Media partners | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/MediaPartners` | `GET` | | API submissions | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/APISubmissions` | `GET` | | Report exports | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/ReportExport/adv_performance_by_ad_media_date` | `GET` | | Report exports | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/ReportExport/att_adv_performance_by_mp_gr` | `GET` | | Report exports | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/ReportExport/att_adv_performance_by_geo_location_pm_only` | `GET` | | Report exports | `/Advertisers/<Account SID>/ReportExport/adv_action_listing_pm_only` | `GET` | ## Query types Query types define what sort of metrics and dimensions are available. You need to select one of the following query types when pulling data: - **Performance by Ad / Partner / Date**: Get performance data aggregated on an ad, partner, and daily level. - **Performance by Partner group**: Get performance data aggregated on the partner group level. This report only returns data for Partners that are part of a Partner group. - **Performance by Country**: Get performance data aggregated on the country level. - **Advanced action listing**: List all actions and their details generated in a selected date range. ## Connection instructions When connecting to Impact, you need your account SID and auth token. 1. Select the Impact data source [on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management) or in the data destination. 2. Enter your account SID and auth token. 3. Give your login a name. The name can be anything — its purpose is for you to recognize the login later in case you have multiple logins. 4. If prompted, choose to make this connection [shared or private](https://docs.supermetrics.com/docs/about-shared-and-private-connections). 5. Click **Start**. 6. In your data destination, select a query type to use, if prompted.
