A data provider is the identity an integration uses to write into sources. Before an integration can onboard anything, it needs a provider with access to the sources it will write to.

Open Sources in the left navigation and switch to the Data providers tab.The Data providers tabEach provider shows its name, its provider ID with a copy button, the identifiers of its allowed sources, and when it was last modified.

Press New data provider

The Create Data Provider dialog
  • Name — required.
  • Allowed Sources — the sources this provider may write to. Pick as many as needed.
3

Press Create

The dialog stays open and shows the generated secret. Copy it with the copy button.
4

Confirm you have copied the secret

The secret is shown once and never again. Closing the dialog without copying it loses it for good, and the only way forward is to reset the secret. Studio warns you once if you try, but a second attempt closes anyway.

Allowed sources

Allowed Sources is the whole of a provider’s authorisation: it can write to those sources and nothing else. That lets you scope integrations — several providers writing to one source, or one provider restricted to a single source.
A source’s own page lists the providers that may write to it, in the Providers chip row — see Track usage of source data.

With the provider ID and secret, the integration can get a token and start onboarding. See Import data, or copy a working snippet from View code examples.
