Connections: How to Connect Your Data Sources

Connections define the configured links between your external data systems and the BEEM platform. Each connection specifies how BEEM authenticates with and extracts data from a source system.

Connection Details

Each connection entry displays:

Connection name (user-defined label)
Connector ID (unique identifier)
Added by (creator)
Status: Active, Paused, or Failed

Connection Types

Fivetran-managed connectors: The majority of 750+ connectors, maintained and updated automatically
Native connectors: Built by the BEEM team for specific integrations
Custom API connectors: Built on request for systems without a standard connector

Best Practices

Apply descriptive naming conventions (e.g., "Client Name - System Type")
Regularly review connection statuses
Pause unused connections to reduce DPU consumption
Only Organization Admin users can create and manage connections
Connections are organization-level, shared across all workspaces
