Scope and permissions

This connector uses API keys. When you connect your account, we securely store your keys to connect to this connector's APIs. The scopes for this connector depends on the scopes you assign your API key in Databricks when generating the key.

Set up instructions

Prerequisites:

You are a Sana Enterprise user – all third-party connectors except the Workday connector are available only for users on the Sana Enterprise tier.
Your Sana workspace owner has enabled this connector – if the workspace owner has disabled the connector it won't appear in the list of available connectors.

Step 1: Go to the connectors page in Sana

In Sana, click on your profile icon and name in the bottom left corner and select Connectors.

Step 2: Find Databricks in the list of available connectors

Scroll to the Available connectors section and locate Databricks.

Note: If you can't find a connector in this list, it means one of the following:

You've already connected it — check the ”Active connectors” section at the top of the connectors page, or
Your workspace owner has disabled this connector for your workspace — reach out to them for more information or to request that it be enabled.

Step 3: Hover the connector card and click the connect button

Hover the Databricks card and click the Connect button.

Tip: If you click the card itself instead of the Connect button, you'll open a connector detail page with more information about its capabilities.

Step 4: Initialize the Pipedream connection

When clicking Connect in the previous step, a pop-up will appear powered by Pipedream. Click the Continue button in the pop-up to initialize the set up.

Note: Sana uses Pipedream to connect your account. Pipedream is a Workday product, trusted by millions of people to keep their data secure.

Step 5: Provide your Databricks credentials

You'll be asked to paste the credentials for Databricks so Sana can store them securely and use them to call the connector's APIs on your behalf.

Step 6: Complete the set up

You've successfully connected your Databricks account. Click Continue to complete the setup and start using the connector.
