How to connect
Quora Ads uses credential-based authentication rather than OAuth. You provide these values directly rather than approving a redirect.
1
Open Connected Sources
In your Vortex IQ workspace, go to Settings → Connected Sources. You need Admin role in the workspace to connect sources.
2
Find the Quora Ads card
Locate the Quora Ads connector card and click + Connect. The connector drawer opens with a credential form.
3
Gather your credentials from Quora Ads
You will need:
- OAuth Access Token: Bearer token from Quora OAuth (scope: ads_read). Register OAuth client via ads-api-help@quora.com; exchange code at https://www.quora.com/_/oauth/token.
- Account ID: Quora Ads account ID, visible in Ads Manager URL (/ad_account/) or account settings.
4
Enter credentials in Vortex IQ
Paste each value into its matching field in the connector drawer.
5
Verify and connect
Click Verify and Connect. Vortex IQ makes a test API call to validate the credentials before saving them.
Vortex IQ only ever requests read-only access. Where Quora Ads offers scoped or read-only API keys, use one.
Available KPI cards
Vortex IQ populates 75 Nerve Centre cards from your Quora Ads data. See the Quora Ads KPI card reference for the full list with definitions, calculations, and sentiment bands.Troubleshooting
Credential verification fails
Credential verification fails
Re-check each value against the Quora Ads developer console for typos or trailing whitespace. If a scope or permission is missing, Quora Ads will typically return a 401 or 403 on the verification call rather than a generic failure.
Cards show no data after connecting

Allow time for the first sync to complete; large accounts can take longer. If cards are still empty after an hour, disconnect and reconnect to confirm the credentials were saved correctly.
