You connect to your Taboola account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Taboola connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

  • A Taboola client secret

Connecting to Your Taboola Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Taboola Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Taboola account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus for configuring your report.
