Connect all your data and build pipelines faster.

Security is a top priority. For on-premise data, Domo uses a lightweight, secure agent called Workbench that sits safely behind your firewall. It establishes an encrypted, outbound-only connection to the Domo cloud using standard HTTPS protocols. This design means you typically don't need to open inbound ports or manage complicated VPN tunnels, keeping your internal network secure while ensuring data flows reliably.

We handle the maintenance for you. A key benefit of our 1,000+ pre-built connectors is that our engineering team actively manages and updates them. When a third-party SaaS provider updates their API or changes authentication methods, we update the connector on our end. This ensures your data pipelines continue to run smoothly without requiring your team to rewrite code or troubleshoot broken integrations.

You have several flexible options. You can use our generic connectors (like ODBC, JDBC, SFTP, or various web-based APIs) to connect to almost any system. For simpler needs, file uploads or email-based ingestion are also available. For a fully integrated solution, your technical team can use the Connector IDE to build and publish a custom connector that leverages Domo’s native orchestration engine, just like our pre-built ones.

Domo allows you to filter rows or columns at the time data is extracted from a source if the API provides this capability, or if you are using Workbench. This means you can bring in only the most relevant data and minimize unnecessary load and storage. The ability to filter at the source depends on the options provided by the API or system, so available filtering features will vary by integration, giving you flexibility based on your specific data connections.

Domo is designed to minimize impact on your source systems. You have granular control over ingestion schedules, allowing you to run large data loads during off-peak hours. More importantly, our platform supports "smart updates" and "upsert" methods. This means we only ingest the data that has changed since the last run, rather than performing a full reload every time, significantly reducing the load on your operational systems.

The refresh frequency is highly flexible and depends on your business needs and the source system's capabilities. Our standard connectors support schedules ranging from daily or hourly down to every 15 minutes. For scenarios that require data to be updated more frequently, APIs and additional integrations can enable near real-time ingestion. This ensures your decision-makers have access to the most up-to-date information possible within these limits.
