The ability to use external data sources with Zoho Creator has been a long-requested feature by our customers, and we believe this powerful integration opens up numerous new possibilities for managing your data across platforms.

What is Zoho DataPrep?

Zoho DataPrep is a data pipeline and cleansing tool to bring in your data from various data sources and then clean and prepare the data before pushing it to your preferred destination. DataPrep offers a comprehensive solution to model, cleanse, prepare, enrich, and organize large volumes of data from multiple data sources, to serve data analytics and data warehousing, ML, and more with exceptional data quality.

What can be achieved with this new connector?

With this new Zoho Creator connector, you can effortlessly connect data from 50+ data sources, such as databases, cloud storage solutions, applications, and local servers, with Zoho Creator. This means seamless connectivity with many popular data storage services, whether it's an on-prem DB or a cloud DB, like Oracle Cloud, Azure SQL Database, or AWS RDS.

Here's how this integration can help you:

Bidirectional data flow
With this integration, not only can you pull data from diverse sources into Creator apps for the analysis and application process, but you can also push data back to those sources, ensuring data integrity and synchronization across your ecosystem.
