Run the setup checklist for every new Portable connector

When a new long-tail data source needs a connector, WebRun opens Portable, works through the setup checklist from authentication to destination mapping, tracks each step's completion in Notion, and exports the finished schema and field list to Google Sheets, so the data team has a clear, searchable record of exactly what is now flowing into the warehouse.

In short

How do I track the setup checklist for a new Portable data connector?

WebRun works through the Portable connector setup checklist for every new long-tail data source, from authentication to destination mapping, tracking each step in Notion. Once the connector is live, it exports the finished schema to Google Sheets, so the data team has a clear, searchable record of what is now flowing into the warehouse.

  • Every new connector follows the same repeatable setup checklist
  • Blocked steps get flagged with a reason instead of silently stalling
  • The data team gets a searchable schema record without opening Portable

Questions, answered

Does WebRun choose which data source to connect?

No. It works through the setup for the source your team requests. Deciding what to connect stays a decision for your data team.

What happens if authentication fails during setup?

The step is marked blocked in Notion with the reason, so the team knows exactly what needs fixing before setup can continue.

Can we see what fields are flowing in without opening Portable?

Yes. The finished schema and field list get exported to Google Sheets once the connector is live, so anyone can check it without a Portable login.
