Destinations

Destinations are target systems where enriched metadata and document data can be exported. While Data Connectors bring documents into the platform, Destinations push enriched data out to vector databases, document management systems, and databases for downstream applications.

Supported Destinations

Qdrant

Vector database for AI applications and semantic search.

PostgreSQL

Relational database with vector support for hybrid search.

Azure SQL

Enterprise-grade SQL database in the Azure cloud.

SharePoint

Enrich original documents with metadata columns in Microsoft 365.

Configuration Details

Destination Type	Description	Key Configuration	Ideal Use Case
Qdrant	Vector database for AI applications	Collection name, URL, API Key	Semantic search, RAG pipelines
PostgreSQL	Relational database with vector support	Host, Database, Collection, Credentials	Structured analytics, hybrid search
Azure SQL	Microsoft cloud database	Server, Database, Table, Credentials	Enterprise data warehouses
SharePoint	Microsoft 365 document management	Client ID/Secret, Tenant ID, Site Name	Enriching original documents with metadata columns

Export Options

Option	Description	Values
Export Level	What data granularity to export	`file` (document-level), `chunk` (segment-level), `both`
Export Tags	Specific metadata tags to include	List of tag names, or empty for all
Export Nodes	Include vector embeddings	`true` / `false`
Export Metadata	Include extracted metadata	`true` / `false`
Metadata Format	How metadata is stored	`column_store` (separate columns), `json_store` (single JSON column)

Export Processing:

Small Exports (< 100 files): Processed synchronously with immediate results
Large Exports (≥ 100 files): Processed in the background with progress tracking via tracker_id

How Destinations Work

Create a Destination

Configure the target system with the required credentials.

Select Export Options

Choose what data to export (file-level, chunk-level, specific tags).

Choose Metadata Format

Decide between column store (separate columns) or JSON store (single JSON column).

Run Export

The platform sends enriched data to your destination system.
