In this Quickstart, you will create your first test user’s Digital Self by connecting their Google data. You can then query this user’s Digital Self.

Create a developer profile

First of all, create a developer profile. This is where you can see all users that log in via Fabric. You can get an overview from the main page:

Create a consent flow for your use case by clicking on Consents -> Create Consent:

Make sure to specify the name of the consent flow (test in this case) and the callback URL you want your users to be redirected to once they have completed the consent flow (https://developer.onfabric.io for this test).

This consent flow can be completely personalized to your use case.

You can use your logo, update the copy, and specify your own callback URL to redirect the user after they have consented.

Onboard your first user

You are now ready to onboard your first user.

First, go back to the main dashboard, click on Create Link User and provide a unique identifier (test-user in this case). Once you are done, you will see that a new user has been created:

Click on > to go to the user’s dashboard:

Then, click again on > under Consent to select which consent flow to show to test-user.

This is the consent flow you just created that can be used to access Google activity

It takes just a few clicks to grant Fabric access to Google activity. Fabric currently supports Google “Search” and “Shopping” scopes and will make “Youtube” and “Maps” available in the near future. More scopes = more personalized online experiences.

That’s it! Fabric is now creating the Digital Self of your test-user.

You can now go back to the dashboard and see a summary of the test-user Google activity:

Ask the user

You can now ask specific question to the Digital Self of the test-user. For example:

For more insightful answers and even more personalized experiences, the user can also grant Fabric access to their activity on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, and much more.

Imagine being able to understand what each of your users want. With Fabric, the most accurate user understanding is one click away!
