Connect a data source
Select an integration
Under Add Data Source, find and click the integration you want. Use the search bar to filter.
Authenticate
Follow the on-screen instructions. Most integrations support OAuth or API key authentication.Use credentials with the right level of access:
- Read-only — sufficient for monitoring and reporting
- Read/write — required if you plan to create or update records via Agents
Choose a data warehouse (optional)
Expand the Advanced section at the bottom of the configuration dialog. Under Data Warehouse, select where this integration’s data should be stored.By default, data goes to Bondata Cloud — the built-in warehouse included with your account. If your organization has connected external warehouses (PostgreSQL or Snowflake), they’ll appear here as well.
Add entities
An entity is a table, object, or dataset within your connected system (e.g., a Salesforce object, a database table, or a CSV file).SaaS integrations
For systems like Salesforce, standard objects are included automatically. To add custom objects:- Click New at the top of the entity list
- Search for the object name
- Click Add
Databases, sheets, and CSVs
Click New to browse tables, upload CSV files, or provide a Google Sheets / SharePoint link. Each entity needs a primary key. BonData auto-detects fields that are both present in all rows and unique. You can also combine multiple fields into a composite key (e.g., First Name + Last Name + Company).
