Ingest from Pendo in 3 steps

Note

Before starting, review the Azure Databricks user persona, supported interfaces, ingestion frequency, and common patterns.

Start ingesting from Pendo

1. Configure Pendo for ingestion (Admins) — Set up Pendo to authenticate with Azure Databricks.
2. Create a Unity Catalog connection (Admins) — Create a connection in Catalog Explorer so non-admins can create pipelines.
3. Create an ingestion pipeline (Admins or non-admins) — Select any supported interface and create a pipeline from an existing connection.
