# How to connect

> How to connect the Adjust data source to Adriel: enter an Adjust API Key, select an app, and configure metrics and breakdowns.

Adjust is a mobile measurement partner (MMP) for install attribution, fraud prevention, and mobile analytics across ad networks. Connecting it brings attribution and aggregated performance data — including SKAdNetwork postback signals — into Adriel dashboards, one Adjust app per data source.

## Before you connect

The following are required:

* An Adjust account.
* An Adjust **API Key**, the user-specific token found in Adjust Account Settings.
* Awareness that each data source tracks a single app. Separate apps, such as iOS and Android, each need their own data source.

To retrieve the Adjust API Key:

1. Sign in to Adjust at `dashboard.adjust.com`.
2. Click the profile icon in the top-right corner and select **Account Settings**.
3. Copy the user-specific API token.

## Connect Adjust

<Steps>
  <Step title="Authorize the Adjust account">
    On the Data Sources page, search for **Adjust** and select it. Enter the **Connection Name**, a label that distinguishes between multiple sets of credentials, and the **API Key** retrieved earlier. Click **Submit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the data source">
    On the data source settings, fill in the required fields: select the **App** from the dropdown, choose the **Breakdowns** and **Metrics** to include, select the account **Timezone**, and enter a **Name** for the data source. Cohort and calculated metrics can be added through the optional **Non-cumulative Cohort Metrics**, **Cumulative Cohort Metrics**, and **Calculated Metrics** fields. Click **Submit** to complete the connection.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Initial data availability can take up to one business day. For additional apps, create a separate data source per app.

## What gets imported

The connector imports attribution and aggregated performance data at daily granularity in each app's native currency, across the Conversion, Ad Spend, Revenue, and SKAdNetwork metric categories. App Tracking Transparency status splits are available as separate metric variants, and SKAdNetwork postbacks are exposed as separate metrics where available. Attribution-window logic is governed by the app's own settings in Adjust.

For the complete list of metrics, breakdowns, cohort metrics, and SKAdNetwork fields, see the [Adjust data reference](/data-sources/a-f/adjust/data-reference).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Token has insufficient access">
    The API Key is scoped to a subset of apps in Adjust and does not cover the app being connected. Regenerate the token with the necessary app scope, or ask the Adjust account admin to expand the existing token's access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A metric category is not available">
    The connector surfaces the Conversion, Ad Spend, Revenue, and SKAdNetwork metric categories. Other categories are not available through this data source.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Only one app appears for a data source">
    Each data source binds to a single app. Track iOS, Android, and any additional apps by creating a separate data source for each one.
  </Accordion>
