# Connect Quora Ads to Vortex IQ

> Connect Quora Ads to Vortex IQ for 75 KPI cards, plus cross-platform Vortex Mind diagnostics.

Connecting Quora Ads to Vortex IQ gives the AI OS a live read on your Quora Ads data, feeding the Nerve Centre dashboard, Vortex Mind diagnostics, and Ask Viq.

## What data Vortex IQ reads from Quora Ads

* **AdAccount**
* **Campaign**
* **AdCreative**

## How to connect

<Note>
  Quora Ads uses credential-based authentication rather than OAuth. You provide these values directly rather than approving a redirect.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Connected Sources">
    In your Vortex IQ workspace, go to **Settings → Connected Sources**. You need Admin role in the workspace to connect sources.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the Quora Ads card">
    Locate the Quora Ads connector card and click **+ Connect**. The connector drawer opens with a credential form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](mailto:ads-api-help@quora.com); exchange code at [https://www.quora.com/\_/oauth/token](https://www.quora.com/_/oauth/token).
    * **Account ID**: Quora Ads account ID, visible in Ads Manager URL (/ad\_account/{id}) or account settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter credentials in Vortex IQ">
    Paste each value into its matching field in the connector drawer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify and connect">
    Click **Verify and Connect**. Vortex IQ makes a test API call to validate the credentials before saving them.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Vortex IQ only ever requests read-only access. Where Quora Ads offers scoped or read-only API keys, use one.
</Note>

## Available KPI cards

Vortex IQ populates **75** Nerve Centre cards from your Quora Ads data. See the [Quora Ads KPI card reference](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/quora-ads) for the full list with definitions, calculations, and sentiment bands.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
