# Creating a connection to Yandex Music podcasts

 Only users with permissions for a Yandex Music podcast can create connections and process podcast analytics. If you do not have access to any podcast, no data will be displayed on the dashboard.
 
 You will get access after uploading a podcast to Yandex Music. The podcast is linked to the Yandex email address you specified when uploading it.

{% note info %}

Statistics in DataLens are updated once a day, so there may be a lag between the chart data and the actual data you see in the service.

1. Optionally, test the connection by clicking **Check connection**.
1. Click **Create connection**.
1. Select the [workbook](../../workbooks-collections/index.md) to save your connection to or create a new one. If using legacy folder navigation, select a folder to save the connection to. Click **Create**.
