Update Outreach.io data by creating a linked table in Microsoft Access with the CData Outreach.io ODBC Driver.
CData ODBC drivers connect your data to any database management tool that supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). This includes many of the most popular productivity tools, adding new capabilities for document sharing and collaboration. Using the CData ODBC driver for Outreach.io, you can update live Outreach.io data in Microsoft Access; for example, you can make updates that can be immediately seen by other users.
Connect to Outreach.io as an ODBC Data Source
If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.
You must use OAuth to authenticate with Outreach. Set the InitiateOAuth connection property to "GETANDREFRESH". For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the Help documentation.
Create a Linked Table to Accounts Data
Follow the steps below to create a linked table, which enables you to access live Accounts data.
- On the External Data tab in Access, click ODBC Database.
- Select the option to link to the data source. A linked table will enable you to read from and write data to the Accounts table.
Select the CData Outreach.io data source from the Machine Data Source tab.
- Select the Accounts table. For more information on this table, see the "Data Model" chapter in the help documentation.
-
Double-click the linked table to make edits. The linked table will always have up-to-date data and any changes will be reflected back to the underlying table.
