Configuring A Data Connector
The first step is to choose the right entity types (listed below):
System
Standard
Custom
After selecting the entity, you can configure integration settings, such as data synchronization methods and entity-specific details. To ensure compatibility and security, you can then choose the data's source, including file uploads, secure FTP (SFTP) servers, and cloud storage services like S3 and Google Cloud Storage.
After configuring data sources, map data columns to Sprinklr fields, using validation criteria such as regex patterns to ensure data consistency. Lastly, sharing settings allows you to control access permissions by designating user groups and granting permissions that range from view-only access to complete administrative power.
