# Requirements for creating a connector

> Get started creating a destination or source connector by completing these steps.

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

## Sign in to your account

* If you do not have an Unstructured account:

  [Sign up for free](https://unstructured.io/?modal=try-for-free). After you sign up, you are automatically signed in to your new Unstructured **Let's Go** account, at [https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io).

  To sign up for a **Business** account instead, [contact Unstructured Sales](https://unstructured.io/?modal=contact-sales), or [learn more](/pipelines/overview#how-am-i-billed%3F).
* If you already have an Unstructured account and are not signed in:

  For a **Let's Go**, **Pay-As-You-Go**, or **Business SaaS** account, sign in to your account at [https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io).

  For other types of **Business** accounts, see your Unstructured account administrator for sign-in instructions,
  or email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).

## Next steps

After you sign in, [Unstructured Pipelines](/pipelines/overview) appears, which you use to create your connector.

After you create your source and destination connectors, add them to a [workflow](/pipelines/workflows). Then run the worklow as a
[job](/pipelines/jobs).

To learn how:

* Try out the [hands-on Pipelines quickstart](/pipelines/quickstart#remote-quickstart).
* Watch the 4-minute
  [video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn2FfHT6H-o).

You can also create source and destination connectors with the Unstructured API.
