Connecting your Data

Connect works with both manually entered data and your external data sources to drive the content of in-app widgets and components dynamically. Additionally you moderate data to show only the items you want from the data source.

Before you connect your data sources you will need to have access to Connect. If you are unsure if you have access follow this link to learn more about Getting Started with Connect.

You can connect the following data sources to a Connect App:

  • Data File Upload (Excel, CSV, Tab Delimited, iCal, XML, JSON)

  • Google Sheets

  • Google Calendar

  • Microsoft 365 Excel Workbook

  • Microsoft Calendar

  • XML/JSON URL

  • iCal URL

  • Clipboard data pasted from a spreadsheet or text file

Connect to even more using Zapier or our REST API.

Data in App Builder

Connect is a data first custom content design tool.Once a data connection is established, you can build an app with drag and drop actions or choose to connect your data to widgets for added functionality. To learn more about creating an app follow this link Creating an App from Scratch

Regardless of whether you are creating an app from scratch or from a template, to connect to a data source click Data in the left hand panel.

The data connections menu will appear. Here you can create a connection or choose from an existing connection. Click the Create a Connection button to create a new connection. If you have already created a connection you can scroll and choose the connection by name from the list below.

You will see a new window with different data connection options. Choose the data source you want to connect. Please take a look at our other help documents that outline connecting to each data source at Screenfeed.com/support
