Step-by-Step

Creating a data source using Intervals

To create a data source using Intervals data, you need to accomplish 4 tasks:

  • Start the data source creation process.
  • Find your Intervals API token.
  • Authenticate with Intervals.
  • Write a query and enter it into Klipfolio.

Note: This guide assumes that you already have an active Intervals account.

Step 1: Start the data source creation process

To create a data source using Intervals, go to the Service Connectors page in Klipfolio and select Intervals.

Step 2: Find your Intervals API Token

Go here for information on finding your Intervals API token-based authentication.

Step 3: Authenticate with Intervals

  1. At Username enter your Intervals username.
  2. At Password enter your Intervals password.

Note: The user token is a unique 11-character alphanumeric (eg: 6bv066nezv4) and is entered in the Username field. An arbitrary value such as x is entered in the password field.

Step 4: Write a query and enter it in Klipfolio

You will need to refer to the Intervals documentation to write a query.

  1. Enter our query in the URL field in the Klipfolio REST connector.

Example: https://api.myintervals.com/task/?excludeclosed=true&sortfield=datedue&limit=50

Edit the query date ranges and save

Many Klips that use Intervals data need a date range that is dynamic (for example, past 30 days). In this section we're going to change the query from a fixed range to a dynamic one.

  1. Enter start-date={date.last30Days} at the end of your Query URL (after the ?).
  2. Enter &end-date={date.today} at the end of your Query URL (after the start-date parameter).
  3. Click the Get data button.
  4. Ensure this is the data you’re looking for. Optionally, select the checkbox to Model your data. Learn more about modelling data sources.
  5. Click Continue.
  6. Name, choose refresh settings, and, optionally, share your data source.
  7. Click Save.

Example: https://api.myintervals.com/task/?excludeclosed=true&sortfield=datedue&limit=50&start-date={date.last30Days}&end-date={date.today}
