Checking a client's sources

The Sources panel shows exactly what data Iris can draw on for the pinned client — check it whenever you want to know what's connected, what's fresh, and what's missing.

Switching to the Sources view

The left rail in Chat has two views: Chats (your conversation history) and Sources (the pinned client's data). Use the toggle at the top of the rail to switch between them.

Note: Sources are client-specific, so you'll need a client pinned in the top-bar client picker. If nothing is pinned, the panel will prompt you to pick a client first.

What you'll find in the panel

  • Client info and standing instructions. A shortcut to Settings, where the client's background details and standing guidance for Iris live. These apply across the whole platform, not just Chat.

  • Synced Files. Every document synced for this client — briefs, plans, reports — with when each was added. Click a file to open it, or use the search box when the list gets long.

  • Power View Sync. How much platform data is available for this client and when it last refreshed. Syncing happens automatically each day; the Sync Now button refreshes what you're seeing.

  • Google Drive. Browse and pull files in from Drive so Iris can use them as context.

  • Integrations. The client's connected marketing platforms, grouped by platform with account counts — this is the quickest way to see at a glance what Iris can and can't analyze.

  • Standing instructions. The client's always-on guidance for Iris, pinned at the bottom of the panel. Edit it here or in Settings — they're the same instructions.

Why this matters

If you ask Iris about a channel that isn't connected, it can't give you numbers for it. Checking Sources takes ten seconds and answers the question "is Iris seeing what I think it's seeing?" before you build analysis on top of it.

Tip: The same Sources panel is available in the rail on the Workflow and Agents products too, so you can sanity-check a client's data from wherever you're working.

Spot a gap?

If a platform or data source is missing for your client, connect it through nova — that's where client and account connections are managed. Once it's connected, the new source flows into Omega and Iris can start using it.

Note: As always, verify AI-generated insights against the source platforms before acting on them.
