Connect to Hightouch

Hightouch syncs your data in Databricks to the tools that your business teams rely on.

You can integrate your Databricks SQL warehouses (formerly Databricks SQL endpoints) and Databricks clusters with Hightouch.

Connect to Hightouch using Partner Connect

To connect your Databricks workspace to Hightouch using Partner Connect, see Connect to reverse ETL partners using Partner Connect.

Note

Partner Connect only supports SQL warehouses for Hightouch. To connect a cluster to Hightouch, connect to Hightouch manually.

This section describes how to connect an existing SQL warehouse or cluster in your Databricks workspace to Hightouch manually.

Note

For Databricks SQL warehouses, you can connect to Hightouch using Partner Connect to simplify the experience.

Before you connect to Hightouch manually, you need the following:

A cluster or SQL warehouse in your Databricks workspace.
- Compute configuration reference.
- Create a SQL warehouse.
The connection details for your cluster or SQL warehouse, specifically the Server Hostname, Port, and HTTP Path values.
- Get connection details for a Databricks compute resource.
A Databricks personal access token. To create a personal access token, follow the steps in Databricks personal access tokens for workspace users.

Note

As a security best practice when you authenticate with automated tools, systems, scripts, and apps, Databricks recommends that you use OAuth tokens.

If you use personal access token authentication, Databricks recommends using personal access tokens belonging to service principals instead of workspace users. To create tokens for service principals, see Manage tokens for a service principal.
