Manage Connections​

Users can manage connected data sources from one place.

Where to find it​

What users can do​

  • View all connected Google accounts
  • See connection status: Connected or Needs reconnect
  • Reconnect an account if access has expired
  • Disconnect an account they no longer want to use
  • Refresh the connection list and status

What information is shown per connection​

  • Connected Google account email
  • Current status
  • Usage reference showing how many templates and saved schedules use that connection
  • Last updated timestamp

Important behavior​

  • Disconnecting removes the stored Google access for that account connection
  • Templates and saved schedules are not deleted
  • Imports using that connection will not run until the user reconnects

Step 6: Select what to load​

  1. Choose the dataset, sheet, or tab you want to use
  2. Select the fields you want to load
  3. Choose your target board and group

Step 7: Set hierarchy options (if needed)​

  1. Choose whether your destination is a standard board or a multi subitems board

Data Bridge is built to support both standard boards and multi subitems boards in one workflow.

Quick Tips​

  • Start with a small row limit first for testing
  • Confirm your item name field is mapped correctly
  • For hierarchy data loads, parent links must be correct or rows may be skipped
  • Use schedules to keep destination boards up to date automatically
