Adding your Data Sources

A source is any system where your data already lives. Common examples include Zoho, KoboToolbox, Google Sheets, Avni, CommCare, and many others. Dalgo can connect to hundreds of sources, and new connectors can be added when needed.

When you add a source in Dalgo, you are saving the access details for that system. After that, you create a connection to choose which data should sync into your warehouse.

  1. Click the Sources tab in the Ingest section.
  2. To add a source, click + New Source.
2 2 2) Add source
  1. Give your source a clear and recognisable name.
  2. Select the type of source you want to add. Dalgo will show the required credentials or access details for that source.
2 2 4) Add source credentials
  1. Fill in the required credentials.
  2. Click Save changes and test.
  3. If the test succeeds, the source is ready to be used in a connection.

    Note: The exact credentials depend on the source type. If you do not have them, ask the person who manages that system or check the provider's documentation.

  4. To edit a source, click the three-dot menu on the right of the source row and select Edit, then save and test again.

    Note: You cannot change the source type of an existing source. Create a new source instead.

  5. To delete a source, click the three-dot menu on the right of the source row and select Delete, then confirm.
