Overview

If you do not have a destination location for Unstructured to send its processed data, skip over to the Pinecone destination connector quickstart. This quickstart guides you through the process of creating a free Pinecone account and creating a destination connector to connect Unstructured to a Pinecone dense serverless index within your Pinecone account.

If you’re new to Unstructured, read this note first.

Before you can create a destination connector, you must first sign in to your Unstructured account:

• If you do not already have an Unstructured account, sign up for free. After you sign up, you are automatically signed in to your new Unstructured Starter account, at https://platform.unstructured.io. To sign up for a Team or Enterprise account instead, contact Unstructured Sales, or learn more.
• If you already have an Unstructured Starter or Team account and are not already signed in, sign in to your account at https://platform.unstructured.io. For an Enterprise account, see your Unstructured account administrator for instructions, or email Unstructured Support at [e-mail].

After you sign in, the Unstructured user interface (UI) appears, which you use to create your destination connector.

After you create the destination connector, add it along with a source connector to a workflow. Then run the worklow as a job. To learn how, try out the hands-on UI quickstart or watch the 4-minute video tutorial.

You can also create destination connectors with the Unstructured API. Learn how.

If you need help, email Unstructured Support at [e-mail].

You are now ready to start creating a destination connector! Keep reading to learn how.
