Initiate First Transfer

Step-by-Step: Launching a Transfer

Once your platforms are authenticated and your connectors are configured, you can launch your first data flow in a few simple steps.

Step-by-Step: Launching a Transfer

1. Go to My Connections

   • Navigate to the MadConnect dashboard and click “Create Connection”

2. Select Source and Destination

   • Choose your data source (e.g., Snowflake)

   • Select your destination platform (e.g., Meta, TTD)

3. Leverage Standard Schema or Implement Custom Mapping

   • Use MadConnect’s pre-defined standard schema for your selected use case

   • Or work with your MadConnect representative to account for any custom mapping to our schema format

4. Activate the Connection

   • Review prerequisites including authentication and field-level readiness

   • Click “Activate” once all requirements are satisfied

5. Initiate Transfer

   • Go to Active Connections

   • Click “Initiate Transfer” to send the first batch
