Core Concepts
Connections
Learn how to connect external platforms to Markifact and manage your existing connections.
A connection is the secure link between Markifact and an external platform like Google Ads, Meta Ads, Slack, or BigQuery. Once connected, you can pull data, send reports, and automate actions across these platforms.
The connection process typically involves:
How to Create New Connections
You cannot create new connections from the Connections page. New connections are created when configuring nodes in your workflows.To connect a new app:

- Click on an app node in your workflow (like Google Ads or Slack)
- Follow the connection process - A sidebar will open and guide you through authentication
The connection process typically involves:
- Logging into your account (e.g., Google, Meta, Slack)
- Granting Markifact permission to access your data
- Selecting which accounts or properties to connect
Managing Multiple Connections
You can connect multiple accounts for the same platform. For example, you might have separate Google Ads connections for different clients or business units.Adding Additional Connections
When configuring a node:- Click the ”+” button next to your current connection dropdown
- Follow the authentication flow for the new account
- Your new connection will appear in the dropdown menu
The Connections Page
The Connections page is your central hub for managing existing connections. Here you can:- View all connected platforms and accounts
- See connection details like when they were created
- Delete connections you no longer need
- Organize connections by platform
