Databricks is a unified analytics platform built on Apache Spark that combines data engineering, data science, and analytics workloads. The Data Connect integration allows you to automatically sync your Contentsquare data to Databricks for advanced analysis and machine learning.

## Prerequisites

Before setting up the Databricks integration, ensure you have:

* Access is required to a Databricks account hosted on either **AWS** or **Azure** that uses Unity Catalog.

* A Personal Access Token (PAT) for a user with the following privileges:

  * `CREATE TABLE` on the target schema
  * `MODIFY` on tables
  * `SELECT` on tables

## Configure Data Connect

Admin only

Configuration of this destination is only available to admin users in Contentsquare.

1. Log in to Contentsquare.

2. Navigate to **Analysis setup** > **Data Connect**.

3. Select **Connect** next to Databricks.

4. Provide the following information:

   * **Hostname**: The ID of your Databricks account, which you can find in the account URL.
   * **Path**: The path of the warehouse you are connecting via this integration.
   * **Catalog**: The catalog that this data should sync to; if left blank, this integration will create a new catalog.
   * **Schema (optional)**: The schema that this data should sync to; if left blank, this integration will create a new schema.
   * **Token**: This is required to allow Data Connect to write to the schema. The token must be a Personal Access Token (PAT) rather than an OAuth Token.

5. Select **Next**.

Once setup is complete, you'll see a sync within 24 hours with the following built-in tables:

* Pageviews
* Sessions
* Users
* `user_migrations`

## Limitations

* Segment syncing is not supported.
