# WhatCounts Connector

## Intro

WhatCounts is an email marketing company that provides data management, software, and services to marketing professionals.  To learn more about the WhatCounts API, visit their page ([https://support.whatcounts.com/hc/en-us/categories/201240476-API-Rest](https://support.whatcounts.com/hc/en-us/categories/201240476-API-Rest)).

You connect to your WhatCounts account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the WhatCounts 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](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Prerequisites

To connect to your WhatCounts account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

* For most reports, an encrypted account ID. You can find this in the **Account Preferences** section of WhatCounts Publicaster Edition. For the "Accounts" report, you will need to enter your Publicaster user email address instead.
* Your WhatCounts password.

## Connecting to Your WhatCounts Account

This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes in the WhatCounts 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](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

### Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your WhatCounts account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" data-aura-rendered-by="33:195;a"><thead><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><span class="s1"> Field </span></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><span class="s1"> Description </span></p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Encrypted Account ID </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> For the "Accounts" report, enter your Publicaster email address. For all other reports, enter the encrypted account ID found in the <b> Account Preferences </b> section of WhatCounts Publicaster Edition. </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Password </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter your WhatCounts password. </p></td></tr></tbody></table>

Once you have entered valid WhatCounts credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new WhatCounts 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](/s/article/360042926054 "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.
