Connecting Outbrain

Connecting Stitch to Outbrain is a three-step process:

  1. Add Outbrain as a Stitch data source
  2. Define the Historical Sync
  3. Define the Replication Frequency

Add Outbrain as a Stitch Data Source

  1. On the Stitch Dashboard page, click the Add an Integration button.

  2. Click the Outbrain icon.

  3. Enter a name for the integration. This is the name that will display on the for the integration; it’ll also be used to create the schema in your data warehouse.

    For example, the name “Stitch Outbrain” would create a schema called stitch_outbrain in the data warehouse. This schema is where all the tables for this integration will be stored.

  4. In the Account ID field, enter your Outbrain Account (or Marketer) ID.

    You can find this by looking at the URL when you’re logged into your Outbrain account. The Account ID looks something like this: 0f4b02153ee75f3c9dc4fc128ab041962 and is located between marketers and campaigns, if you’re looking at the Overview dashboard:

    https://my.outbrain.com/amplify/site/marketers/[account-id-will-be-here]/campaigns/overview

  5. In the Username field, enter your Outbrain username.
  6. In the Password field, enter your Outbrain password.

Defining the Historical Sync

The Sync Historical Data setting will define the starting date for your Outbrain integration. This means that data equal to or newer than this date will be replicated to your data warehouse.

Change this setting if you want to sync data beyond Outbrain’s default setting of 1 year. For a detailed look at historical syncs, check out the Syncing Historical SaaS Data article.

Define the Replication Frequency

The Replication Frequency controls how often Stitch will attempt to replicate data from your Outbrain integration. By default the frequency is set to 30 minutes, but you can change it to better suit your needs.

Before setting the Replication Frequency, note that:

  • The more often Outbrain is set to replicate, the higher the number of replicated rows.

  • The number of rows in the source may not equal the number of rows replicated by Stitch. Tables that use Full Table Replication will result in a higher number of replicated rows.

  • If you’re using a data warehouses that doesn’t natively support nested structures, you’ll see a higher number of replicated rows due to the de-nesting Stitch performs.

To help prevent overages, we recommend setting the Replication Frequency to something less frequent - like 6 hours instead of 30 minutes. For tips on reducing your row count, check out the Reducing Your Row Count section of our Billing Guide.

After selecting a Replication Frequency, click Save Integration.

Outbrain’s Intial Sync

After you finish setting up Outbrain, you might see its Sync Status show as Pending on either the Stitch Dashboard or in the Integration Details page.

For a new integration, a Pending status indicates that Stitch is in the process of scheduling the initial sync for the integration. This may take some time to complete.

Outbrain Schema

  • Campaign pagination is not implemented – this integration pulls incomplete data if more than 100 campaigns exist. (Is a workaround necessary for this? If so, is there one?)
