AI DictionaryPart 1: Data
Data Connectors
There's many, but what do they do?
Storing data in files is easy. But most real-world data lives inside software systems, for example:
- CRM systems
- databases
- internal company tools
- social media platforms like LinkedIn
In these cases, it does not make sense to first export data into a file and import it again into another tool.
A data connector is used to directly connect one tool to another.
It allows:
- tool A to send data to tool B
- tool B to receive and use that data
This process is also called data integration.
