Connectors
Connectors import content from the tools your team already uses into a Store. After the initial import, each connector can keep the selected content up to date without requiring repeated uploads.

Connect a data sourceLink to section
Sign in to the Mixedbread Platform, select your organization, and open Data sources.
Select Create, then choose the provider you want to connect.
Enter an optional Store name. Leave it blank to use the connector's default naming scheme.
Keep the recommended configuration or expand Store configuration to change contextualization and ingestion settings. Salesforce does not expose these settings during connection.
Complete the provider-specific authorization steps. Mixedbread redirects you to the connector page after a successful connection.
Choose the channels, files, folders, labels, teams, pages, notes, or object types that should feed the Store. Saving the selection starts the initial import.
Store configurationLink to section
New connector Stores use settings intended to produce useful search results without additional configuration:
- Metadata contextualization adds source details such as titles and authors to chunks before embedding.
- File contextualization situates chunks within their full document.
- Ingestion mode controls the balance between processing speed and retrieval quality.
Most connectors default to metadata and file contextualization with high-quality ingestion. Google Drive defaults to metadata contextualization with fast ingestion and no file contextualization.
If the Store name already exists, the connector adds imported data to that Store. The existing Store keeps its configuration; only the selected ingestion mode applies to newly imported files.
A connector can only import content that the connected account or app is allowed to access. Grant the minimum provider permissions needed for the content you intend to synchronize.
Manage synchronized contentLink to section
Open a connected data source to review its selected resources and import status. From the connector page, you can:
- add or remove resources from synchronization;
- run a manual sync;
- retry supported import failures;
- open the destination Store; or
- disconnect the provider.
Removing a resource from synchronization stops future updates but does not delete data that was already imported. Disconnecting also leaves imported Store files in place. Delete those files separately if you no longer want them in the Store.
After the import finishes, use Search or Question Answering with the destination Store.
