Built for Synchronization

This service is designed to help anyone continuously export (i.e. "sync") data from Plaid.

If you only need to export your data one time, check the website of Plaid to see if their service offers a one-time export feature natively. Sometimes a Data Source's native export feature may provide not as much data as its API does, in which case Flatly is the solution.

Additional Information

Flatly uses official API channels to provide an integration with Plaid.
Flatly connects to over 10,000 financial institutions in the US and Canada via Plaid.
Authorization

Plaid provides an interface for connecting to Plaid and Plaid's connected financial institutions. It takes about 1 minute to click through the prompts.

Scopes

Flatly's access to Plaid and Plaid's downstream connected financial institutions is read-only access to text. It is limited to account data (words, numbers, dates). It does not include any money-movement, transfer capabilities or account holder profiles/identities.

Plaid alone interfaces directly with financial institutions, caches data from those institutions on Plaid infrastructure, and then makes the appropriate scoped subset of that data available to partners like Flatly using secure connections called client libraries.

Scopes

Flatly provisions and manages its own App Folder in Google Drive, which contains Google Sheets files, CSV files or XLSX files refreshed by Flatly. Flatly only has access to this one folder. This folder is like an isolated container that you can move anywhere inside your Google Drive, share with members of your team or link to using Google Sheets scripting. Unlike other apps, Flatly does not request overly broad access to all folders, files and sheets in your Google Drive.

Flatly also requests your Google Account email address, to help you keep track of which Google Drive (belonging to which Google Account) you have shared in certain sync jobs in Flatly.

Google Data Studio reads Google Sheets files in Google Drive directly. Google Drive can sync flat files to the desktop automatically.
