Intro

Synthesio is a social intelligence tool used for social media monitoring and social analytics. Domo’s Synthesio connector uses the Synthesio API to get tweet IDs from Synthesio dashboards and then rehydrates data using the Twitter API. To learn more about the Synthesio API, visit their page (https://rest.synthesio.com/doc/#introduction ). You connect to your Synthesio account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Synthesio connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
Prerequisites

To connect to your Synthesio account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
  • The username and password for your Synthesio account
  • Your Synthesio client ID
  • Your Synthesio client secret
For information about obtaining these credentials, reach out to your Synthesio account representative.

​
Connecting to Your Synthesio Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Synthesio Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Synthesio account. The following table describes what is needed for each field when you are using the Domo connector:

Field

Description

Synthesio Username

Synthesio Password

Synthesio Client ID

Once you have entered valid Synthesio credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Synthesio DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
