Ingest from SurveyMonkey in 3 steps

note

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

1. Configure SurveyMonkey for ingestion (Admins): Set up SurveyMonkey to authenticate with Databricks.
2. Create a Unity Catalog connection (Admins): Create a connection in Catalog Explorer to store credentials for Databricks to authenticate with SurveyMonkey.
3. Create an ingestion pipeline (Admins or non-admins): Select any supported interface and create a pipeline from an existing connection.
