Embed a Periscope Data integration in your product
Add Periscope Data to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Periscope Data integration so your product can use the analysis a customer's data team has already built instead of duplicating their SQL. Periscope Data, now sold by Sisense as Sisense for Cloud Data Teams, is SQL-first analytics: charts are queries against the customer's own warehouse, and dashboards are how their teams consume the results. Schemas differ per customer and change without notice, so mapping is configuration rather than code, and large reads are paginated and throttled so a first import does not exhaust an allowance. fastn handles per-customer credentials and API upkeep.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, customized per customer, maintained by fastn.
Let customers connect their own Periscope Data account so your product surfaces results from the charts their analysts already maintain.
Read chart and dashboard output per tenant so numbers in your product match the numbers their data team publishes.
Run a defined query on demand and use the result inside a product feature rather than exporting it.
Absorb schema changes on the customer's side as a mapping update rather than a release on yours.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads the result of an existing chart before answering a question with numbers.
An agent runs an approved query within scoped permissions, with every call logged per tenant.
An agent compares two periods from the same dashboard and reports what moved.
Example prompt
Pull the latest results from the revenue dashboard and summarise the change against last month.
Set up Periscope Data in 4 steps
- 01Open the Periscope Data connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer connect their own Periscope Data account with API credentials.
- 03Select the charts, dashboards and queries your product reads, then enable the actions you need.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Periscope Data integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Periscope Data integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Periscope Data account inside your product and work their records, datasets and fields there, and nothing lands on your team.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: schemas differ per customer and change without notice, and volumes can be large. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Periscope Data update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Periscope Data integration powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you read and write your customers' data where it already lives without wiring it twice.

AirtablePeriscope Data integration FAQ
How do I add a Periscope Data integration to my product?
Enable the Periscope Data connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Periscope Data account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Periscope Data client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Periscope Data account?
Yes. Every integration is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Periscope Data account and only ever sees their own records, datasets and fields. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Periscope Data integration?
Yes. The same integration is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads the result of an existing chart before answering a question with numbers. A prompt that works on day one: "Pull the latest results from the revenue dashboard and summarise the change against last month."
Who maintains the Periscope Data integration?
fastn does. When Periscope Data changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' integrations keep working.
Does the Periscope Data integration adapt when a customer's schema changes?
Schema and field mapping is configuration per customer, so a change on their side is a mapping update rather than a code change and a release on yours.
How are large Periscope Data reads handled?
Pagination and throttling are handled for you, and initial backfills are rate-limited so a large import does not exhaust a customer's API allowance.
What can I build with the Periscope Data integration?
A common starting point: connect their own Periscope Data account so your product surfaces results from the charts their analysts already maintain. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Periscope Data integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on customer connections, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Periscope Data does not change your cost. You can start free with 3 customer connections.
