How to Add a Source in Precog

You can add a source in Precog to connect your application data to Precog. Each source represents a connected application or software product — such as Salesforce, SAP, or Shopify — from which Precog extracts your data from.

Steps

1. Open Your Workspace

From the Organization Dashboard, select the workspace where you want to add the source.

2. Go to Sources

In the Workspace menu (left-side navigation), select Sources. This opens a view of all configured sources in your workspace. Select Add Source in the top-left corner.

3. Select a Source Type

On the Create New Source page, type the name of your application (for example, HubSpot or Google Ads) in the search bar. Select your source from the list, then select Continue (bottom-right corner).

4. Enter Source Details

Add a descriptive Source Name — this name appears in Precog and becomes the schema name in your destination data warehouse.

Note: Some sources automatically use a Company Name or Host Name for the Source Name field.

Optionally, add a Description to help your team understand what data this source contains.

Select Configure (bottom-right corner).

5. Configure Your Source

Enter the required credentials for your source. The fields vary by application — for example, some may require API keys, OAuth connections, or tokens.

If you don't have these credentials yet, you can return later — your setup will be saved.

When complete, select Review (bottom-right corner).

6. Review and Create

Verify your configuration details. Select Create Source (bottom-left corner) to save the connection.

Result

Your new source appears in the Sources list within your workspace. Precog automatically begins discovering available datasets from your source.

When discovery completes, the Status changes to Ready — this means your source is fully configured and datasets have been identified.

You can now create a Schedule to load data into a Destination.
