Add a channel

To add a channel, select Add channel on the Channels tab, select one or more channels, then select Add channels. Each new channel shows in the table with the status Not connected. You connect its data in a second step.

Only an Admin sees the Add channel button. On a tab with no channel, the button reads Add channels.

How do you add a channel?

Open Data Center and stay on the Channels tab.
Select Add channel.

The Add channels dialog opens.
Select a category tab, or type a name in Search channels….
Select each channel that you measure.

A row can show the text via {integration name}. The text names the integration that will carry the data of that channel.
Select Add channels.

Data Center shows Channel added. for one channel, or the count of channels for two or more. The channels are now in the table. Next, connect each channel.

What are the category tabs?

The dialog groups the channels into category tabs.

Tab	What it lists
Advertising	Ad platforms and media types.
Revenue	Stores and retailers that give revenue.
Web Analytics	Web analytics sources.
Conversions	Outcome counts such as leads or subscriptions.
Other	Shows only when a channel is outside the other categories.

A channel that you added before is not in the dialog. When no channel is left, the dialog shows Every available channel is already added.

How is the connection method selected?

You do not select the connection method of a channel. Prescient selects it for you.

Subject	Rule
Connection method	You do not select a connection method. Prescient selects the method of each channel: the main automated method of the channel, then a warehouse integration that your workspace has, then Google Sheets.
Change of method	To use a different connection method for a channel, remove the channel and add the channel again.

For the steps in the account of a specific platform, see the setup dialog of the channel. The earlier help center also has a page for each platform.
