Connector | Glossary | DocLD

A connector is a prebuilt integration that pulls documents from an external source into DocLD. Instead of uploading files manually or via the API one by one, you configure a connector to sync from a storage bucket, folder, or application so documents are ingested automatically.

How Connectors Work

Configure — Connect your source (e.g. S3, Google Drive, SharePoint) and set sync scope (folders, file types).
Sync — The connector periodically or continuously fetches new and updated documents.
Process — DocLD parses, chunks, and embeds documents and adds them to the chosen knowledge base or pipeline.
Update — When documents change or are removed at the source, the connector can update or remove them in DocLD.

Connectors reduce manual document upload and keep your search and RAG context in sync with your source of truth.

Ingestion is the overall process of getting documents into DocLD; connectors automate ingestion from specific sources. Document upload covers one-off or API-driven uploads.
