Miro Connector Overview

The Miro Connector for Onna allows users to seamlessly collect, process, and analyze content from their Miro boards. Once connected, Onna automatically syncs boards, users, and associated metadata, making the information fully searchable and easier to manage for eDiscovery, compliance, and knowledge-management workflows.

Key capabilities include:

  • Secure authentication through Miro's OAuth integration

  • Flexible, customizable syncs based on user selection and time range

  • Support for both continuous (ongoing) and one-time data collection

  • Enhanced metadata visibility for all synchronized resources

Once the authorization is complete, you can add Miro as a new data source inside your desired Workspace or under My Sources.

Step 1: Navigate to Your Workspace

Navigate to your desired Workspace and click the Add Source button.

Step 2: Select Miro Data Source

From the list of available data sources, select Miro.

Step 3: Connect Your Miro Account

You will be redirected to the data source creation flow. Select the Miro account that you added through the Authorized Connection, then click Connect.

Step 4: Configure Source Settings

On the Source Configuration page, specify two configurations:

  • Start-End Date

  • Users

Start Date – End Date

Click the date range option to open the Select Period page.

Start Date options:

  • Earliest available – includes all data from the earliest Miro activity

  • Custom – select a specific date from the calendar

Note

Last Modified Date is considered when selecting dates, except when Created Date = Last Modified Date.

End Date options:

  • Ongoing – continues syncing new data up to the current date

  • Today – includes data up to the current day

  • Custom – allows a specific end date selection

Note

If both Start and End Dates are selected manually, the sync will default to One-time sync mode.

Users

To define which users' data will be included, click the Users option. This redirects you to the Select Users page.

User selection options:

  • All users – syncs data from all Miro users

  • Enter manually – allows individual user selection by email

When manually entering users, type in the email address of each desired user. Selected users will appear listed under Selected, where they can also be removed or excluded.

Step 5: Create Source

After setting the date range and user selection, click Create Source.

You will be redirected back to your Workspace, where the new Miro data source will appear in the source list.

Viewing Synced Miro Resources

Once the sync process completes, navigate to the Miro data source within your Workspace.

Here you can view all synced resources with details such as:

  • Resource name

  • Description

  • Date synced

  • Size

  • Original source

To view resource details:

  1. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) beside a resource.

  2. Select View Details to open a modal displaying metadata related to both Miro and Onna.

Monitoring Sync Progress View Details

To check the status of a Miro data source:

  1. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the data source.

  2. Select View Details.

You will see two tabs:

Details Tab – Displays Workspace, Location, Status, Sync Mode, Sync Time Range, Last Processing Completed, Total Size, Total Files, and Date Added to Onna.

Origin Details Tab – Displays Original Synced Account and Synced Teams.

Origin Details Tab – Displays Original Synced Account and Synced Teams.

For more technical insights, click Check Status Details to access:

  • Ingestion and processing progress

  • Start and completion timestamps

  • Any exception details if errors occurred

The Status page displays the progress of ingestion and processing, along with their corresponding status, last sync start time, and last sync completion time. You can also check for exception details if any errors occurred during ingestion or processing.

Handling Failed Resources

If certain Miro boards fail to sync correctly, they will appear as ".html" files that cannot be previewed within Onna. Opening these files will show "File not available," but you can still view their original content in Miro by following the Original Source URL.

Despite being inaccessible in Onna, failed resources retain their metadata, which can still be viewed by selecting View Details from the three-dot menu.
