Glean

Polytomic connects your data warehouse, databases, and SaaS tools to Glean for reverse ETL. Sync records in as searchable documents that keep your workplace search index current, without writing code.

Search index kept current

Every completed sync replaces the full datasource. Records removed or excluded at the source drop out of Glean search automatically.

Direct link to the source

Every document Polytomic syncs into Glean carries a link back to its original record. A search result in Glean opens straight to where the data lives.

Any table or model indexed

Send data from any table, model, or SaaS object. Polytomic turns each record into a searchable Glean document without a custom integration.

Example workflows

Sync CRM records into Glean so reps can search account history

What you can sync

Glean is supported as a destination. Sync records from your data warehouse, databases, and SaaS tools into a Glean datasource as searchable documents.

To Glean

Documents with a title and full record content
A view link back to the source record
Full datasource replace on every completed sync
Any table or model synced in as a document

How it works

Connect to Glean with your subdomain and an API token. Point a sync at an existing Glean datasource. Each record syncs in as a document with a title, full content, and a link back to the source record.

Every sync replaces the full contents of the datasource. Records removed or excluded at the source drop out of Glean automatically. The datasource must already exist in Glean before you connect a sync to it.

  • A datasource must already exist in Glean before syncing
  • Every synced record becomes a document with title and content
  • Each document links back to its source record automatically
  • Every sync fully replaces the datasource, not an incremental update
  • Records removed at the source drop out of Glean automatically
  • Any table, model, or object can sync in as a document

How to set up

Glean connections authenticate with a per-account API token and your Glean subdomain. Generate the token from your Glean admin console before connecting.

  2. 2In Polytomic, go to Connections, click Add connection, and select Glean
  3. 3Enter your Glean subdomain and API token, then click Save
