Sources are data connections — SQL databases, document stores, and warehouses — that Gravitre can query, sync, and use for search and automation context.
Sources vs Connectors
| Sources | Connectors | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Read/query data, schema exploration, sync into knowledge | Act on external apps (create records, send messages) |
| Examples | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Snowflake | Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack |
| Nav | BUILD → Sources | BUILD → Connectors |
Many workflows use both: a Connector writes to a CRM while a Source supplies analytics or document context.
What Sources enable
- Schema browsing — inspect tables and columns before building automations
- Ad hoc query — test SQL or API queries from the Sources UI
- Sync — refresh data on a schedule; track last sync and health
- Downstream use — workflows, operators, and RAG ingest can reference connected Sources
Environments
Sources are scoped to your org and Environment (production vs staging). Use non-production Environments when testing new connections.
