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

Before you can create a source connector, you must first sign up for Unstructured. After you sign up, the Unstructured user interface (UI) appears, which you use to create the source connector.

After you create the source connector, add it along with a destination 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 source connectors with the Unstructured API. Learn how.

If you need help, reach out to the community on Slack, or contact us directly.
