Connecting a platform takes less than a minute. The process is the same whether you are using the web app, Google Sheets sidebar, or Looker Studio.

​
From the Web App

1

Go to Data Sources

Log in to app.detrics.io and click Data Sources in the left sidebar.
Data Sources page showing all connected platforms
You will see all available platforms listed with their current connection counts.
2

Select a Platform

Click on the platform you want to connect (e.g., Meta Ads, Google Ads, Shopify). This opens the platform’s connection page.
3

Authorize Access

Click the Connect button. You will be redirected to the platform’s official OAuth authorization page. Sign in with the account that has access to the data you need, and grant Detrics read-only permission.
For Meta Ads, make sure you are logged into the Facebook account that has admin or analyst access to the ad accounts you want to query.
4

Select Accounts

After authorizing, Detrics loads your available accounts. Select the ones you want to work with. You can always add more accounts later.
5

Start Querying

Your connection is ready. You can now use it in Google Sheets, Looker Studio, Claude, or the Data Warehouse.

​
From Google Sheets

If you are working in Google Sheets, you can connect platforms directly from the Detrics sidebar.
1

Open the Sidebar

Go to Extensions > Detrics > Launch Detrics in your Google Sheet.

Platform-Specific Notes

Some platforms have special requirements:
  • Meta Ads / Facebook: You need admin or analyst access to the ad account. If you manage multiple Business Managers, make sure you authorize with the right Facebook account.
  • Google Ads: Requires a Google account with access to the Google Ads MCC or individual accounts.
  • Shopify: Uses a store-level connection. You need store owner or staff access.
  • Stripe / TiendaNube: These use centralized tokens. One connection per account is shared across all workspaces.
If a connection fails or shows an error, see Troubleshooting Connections for solutions.
