How to connect Outbrain to ARIQ
Use this guide when an agency connects a client's Outbrain account, or when a business connects its own Outbrain account. The connection is saved on the open project.
Outbrain OB-TOKEN-V1Who connects Outbrain
The connection is saved on one project. An agency connects each client from that client's project. A business connecting its own account uses its own project. Both follow the same Connect button.
Sign in to ARIQ with your agency user. Open the client project, then connect that client's Outbrain account. The client does not need an ARIQ login. Use the Outbrain login that can already see that client's data.
Sign in to ARIQ, open your project, and connect the Outbrain account this business already uses. You approve access with that same account.
Connect it inside ARIQ
- 1Sign in to ARIQ.
- 2Open the project this account belongs to. Switch projects from the left sidebar if you manage more than one client.
- 3Open Outbrain from the workspace tabs, or go straight to the Outbrain page.
- 4Click Connect. ARIQ asks for the key from the Outbrain account. Copy it from Outbrain, paste it into ARIQ, and save. The key is stored on this project.
- 5Stay on that project and sync. The page shows live numbers only after this account is connected. Another client's project stays empty until you connect it there too.
On Outbrain, before you click Connect
Do this in the Outbrain account that belongs to the client, or in your own account if this project is your business. Then come back to ARIQ and click Connect.
