Unstructured Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect

Your enterprise runs on unstructured documents that live everywhere: SharePoint folders, Google Drive shares, cloud storage buckets, email attachments. Pulling them into one governed place has historically meant stitching together custom scripts, brittle APIs, and pipelines that break the moment a vendor changes their template.

In this lightning talk, we'll show how Lakeflow Connect makes unstructured data ingestion fully managed, incremental, and production-ready. We'll set up a SharePoint connector in minutes, land unstructured documents in Delta with Unity Catalog governance, and turn them into structured, queryable content using AI Parse Document, our research-backed AI Function for intelligent Document Processing.

Walk away knowing how to turn the unstructured documents stored across external sources into a queryable data layer that powers smarter agents, dashboards, and analytics for every part of your business.
