02Data
What you can sync.
- Data sources
- Tables
- Columns
- Articles
- Query logs
Put Alation data sources next to revenue and usage, so every cost has an owner and a reason.
Need more? Name any other Alation data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- An access token
Alation uses an access token. You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Alation if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Alation.
Open Lake, pick Alation in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Alation API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Alation documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example data sources and tables), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then Alation data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
