Connecting a Source

Each connector follows a consistent 3-step setup flow (example: Google Drive):

  1. Authorize access (Required)
    • Enter a Connection name (e.g. "Google Drive Connector")
    • Click Connect with Google Drive to authenticate via OAuth
  2. Choose what to sync
    • Sync Specific Folders — add one or more folder URLs (e.g. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/...)
    • Use + Add Folder URL to include additional folders
  3. Initial Sync
    • Optionally check Start syncing right after connecting to begin indexing immediately upon setup Once configured, click Save connector to complete setup.

Connection Card Overview

Once at least one connection exists, each connector's card on the Knowledge Sources page shows:
