# How to connect

> How to connect the Quora data source to Adriel: authorize a Quora Ads account, select an ad account, and verify data.

Quora Ads is Quora's self-serve advertising platform for reaching audiences across question-and-answer threads, topic feeds, and digest emails, and is commonly used for B2B and intent-driven traffic. Connecting it brings ad account, campaign, ad set, and ad performance into Adriel dashboards alongside other paid-media channels.

## Before you connect

The following are required:

* An active Quora Ads advertiser account.
* A user with permission to authorize third-party access to the ad account.
* Read access to the Quora Ads Manager account, so the consent screen's **Accept** option can be approved.

## Connect Quora

<Steps>
  <Step title="Authorize a Quora account">
    On the **Data Sources** page, search for **Quora** and select it. Sign in to Quora in the pop-up window using an account that has access to the target ad account, then click **Accept** to grant read access to the Quora Ads Manager account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the ad account">
    On the data source settings, choose the **Ad Account** to connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Click **Submit** to complete the connection. Initial data availability can take up to one business day.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What gets imported

The connector pulls ad account, campaign, ad set, and ad performance from the Quora Ads API at daily granularity in the ad account's reporting currency. Metrics include spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, and conversion value, alongside derived rates such as CTR, CPC, CPM, CPA, and ROAS.

For the complete list of metrics, breakdowns, and limits, see the [Quora Ads data reference](/data-sources/o-z/quora/data-reference).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The connection moved to a reconnect state">
    Quora periodically exchanges the stored credential for a new one. When Quora's response does not return a valid credential, the connection fails immediately without a retry and needs to be re-established. Reconnect through the connections UI and sign in again with the same Quora account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Campaign-level data appears stale between dashboard visits">
    Scheduled background refreshes run at the ad-account level. Campaign, ad set, and ad data is fetched when a dashboard loads, so deeper-level data follows usage rather than a fixed schedule. Open the affected dashboard to trigger a fresh pull.
