|
## What are Connectors
|
|
Connectors hook up Danswer to your data sources so that answers are grounded in your organization's knowledge.
|
|
|
|
### Connectors help you
|
|
- **Choose Sources** so you can include only the data you want indexed.
|
|
- **Configure Access** so Danswer can securely access data with your permission.
|
|
- **Set Up Fetching** options to keep Danswer's answers up to date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Monitoring Connectors
|
|
Open the `Connectors Dashboard` (accessible from the profile icon on the top right)
|
|
At the top there is a `Status` page which shows which sources have been indexed and the status of the indexing job.
|
|
|
|

|
## Missing a Connector?
|
|
Is there a Connector that would be useful to you? Let us know via a
|
|
[GitHub Issues](https://github.com/danswer-ai/danswer/issues) page.
|
|
(Please check if the connector you're interested in is already mentioned).
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to thumbs up the issues requesting the connectors that you would like to see built next!
|
|
|
|
### Contributing a Connector
|
|
As Danswer is opensource, one of the best features is that anyone can add to it! We encourage people who need new
|
|
connectors to contribute it back to the Danswer repo for other people to benefit as well.
|
|
|
|
Refer to this [README guide](https://github.com/danswer-ai/danswer/blob/main/backend/danswer/connectors/README.md)
|

for how to add a new Connector.
