Zoho DataPrep allows you to import data from Panoply, a fully-integrated data management platform that syncs, stores, organizes and analyzes data from many sources.
Prerequisites for Panoply
Please ensure the following conditions are met before proceeding with connecting to your Panoply.
1. Provide database read permissions to the Zoho DataPrep server.
2. Ensure you have the correct login credentials for your database. As a best practice, try connecting to your target database from the Zoho DataPrep server, using the native database management software available for the respective database.

. Once you are done creating your data flow and applying necessary transforms in your stages, you can right-click a stage and add a destination to complete your data flow.
Note: After adding a destination to the pipeline, you can try executing your pipeline using a manual run at first. Once you make sure manual run works, you can then set up schedule to automate the pipeline. Learn about the different types of runs here. While configuring the Schedule, Backfill, Manual reload, Webhooks, or Zoho Flow, the import configuration needs to be mandatorily setup for all the sources. Without setting up the import configuration, the run cannot be saved.
