Guide · Connect your sources

Connect your sources.

Aurelia connects the marketing, commerce and customer tools you already use as read-only sources. Each maps to an Airbyte connector that replicates history into your workspace’s isolated warehouse namespace.

What a source is

A source is a connection to one external system — your store, an ad platform, your analytics or CRM. Aurelia reads from it on a schedule and lands the raw data in your tenant-isolated BigQuery dataset. Access is read-only: Aurelia never writes back to the connected tool.

Available sources map to managed Airbyte connectors, so authentication, extraction and schema handling are taken care of for you. Governed sources then flow into dedicated medallion models — see See the gold layer.

Supported sources

Shopify and Meta Ads have governed private-beta marts. Google Ads, TikTok Ads, Klaviyo, GA4, HubSpot and Intercom are read-only previews: their data can land in an isolated raw dataset, but source-specific gold models are still being validated.

SourceCategoryWhat it brings
Shopify · betaStoreRevenue, orders, customers and observed cohort value. Product cost and causal incrementality require additional data.
Meta Ads · betaPaid mediaSpend, delivery and platform-reported conversion value. This is not an incrementality model.
Google Ads · previewPaid mediaConnector preview: data lands read-only in BigQuery. Dedicated governed gold models are still being validated.

Recharge · plannedSubscriptionsOn the roadmap. Subscription revenue is currently read through Shopify; a dedicated Recharge connector will add churn, rebill and cohort ARR.
Skio · plannedSubscriptionsOn the roadmap. Native subscription metrics — churn, MRR, second-order rebuys — will land when the connector ships.
Stay AI · plannedSubscriptionsOn the roadmap. Retention and churn-prevention signals for subscription LTV modelling.
Attentive · plannedEmail / SMSOn the roadmap. SMS delivery and attributed revenue to sit alongside Klaviyo in the owned-channel model.
YouTube Ads · plannedPaid mediaOn the roadmap. Video spend and delivery to extend the paid-media incrementality model.

How the connection flow works

  1. 1
    Choose a source
    Pick a tool from the connectors above. We recommend connecting a revenue source (for example Shopify) plus one paid-media source first.
  2. 2
    Authorize access
    Sign in to the tool through its secure OAuth flow (or provide API credentials). Aurelia only requests read scopes.
  3. 3
    Aurelia provisions the connection
    Behind the scenes Aurelia creates the Airbyte source and a connection to your warehouse destination — no infrastructure to manage.
  4. 4
    History replicates
    Your historical data backfills, then keeps up to date on a daily sync. For governed sources, dbt shapes verified landed data into reusable context for Aurelia’s applications and AI tools.

Where to connect

You’ll connect your first sources during onboarding (Step 2 · Data foundation), and you can manage them any time from Connections inside the app — add new sources, check sync status, or disconnect.

Connections are read-only and encrypted, replicate on a daily sync, and land in a warehouse namespace isolated to your workspace. Shopify unlocks recognised commerce revenue and observed cohorts; Meta Ads unlocks platform-reported spend and conversion performance. Neither source alone provides causal incrementality.
