# Data Connectors

For data that changes frequently — sales transactions, user events, operational metrics — file uploads become tedious. Data connectors solve this by establishing a live link to your source systems.

Once connected, you can refresh data on demand or schedule automatic syncs. Your analyses stay current without manual intervention.

**Available connectors:**

* **Databases:** [PostgreSQL](/data-connectors/postgresql.md), [MySQL](/data-connectors/mysql.md), [MongoDB](/data-connectors/mongodb.md)
* **Data Warehouses:** [Snowflake](/data-connectors/snowflake.md) *(Beta)*
* **Cloud Storage:** [Amazon S3](/data-connectors/s3.md), [Azure Data Lake](/data-connectors/azure-data-lake.md), [Google Cloud Storage](/data-connectors/google-cloud-storage.md) *(Beta)*
* **APIs:** [REST API](/data-connectors/rest-api.md)

The Import Manager shows the full, current catalogue, including upcoming connectors marked **Soon** — see [Connect Data](/user-guide/connecting-data.md) for the list.

**To connect a data source:**

1. Navigate to **Sources** and click **Import data**
2. In the Import Manager, locate the connector type and click **Setup**
3. Enter connection credentials
4. Configure a sync schedule and save

### Next steps

Once your data is connected:

1. Review the [ontology](/user-guide/ontology-concepts.md) RootCause built automatically — it links related data across sources
2. Create a [Data View](/user-guide/data-views.md) to transform and combine your datasets
3. [Build a Digital Twin](/user-guide/creating-digital-twin.md) using your prepared Data View
