Rayven makes it easy to ingest, centralise, and work with data from any source — devices, systems, API, database, and manual inputs. There are two primary ways to bring your data into the Rayven platform:
🛠️ Option 1: Upload Data to Custom Tables
You can manually create and manage custom tables inside Rayven, giving you full control over your data structure.
-
Create Custom Tables:
Define primary and secondary tables in Rayven’s database. Set up your columns, data types, and relationships. -
Upload Data:
Import your data directly into these tables using CSV file uploads, manual entry, or automated inputs. -
Connect to Workflows:
Once uploaded, your primary and secondary tables can be easily connected as data sources within workflows, allowing you to trigger logic, automate processes, or build dashboards based on your static or dynamic datasets.
Typical Use Cases:
-
Static master data (e.g., product catalogs, asset registries).
-
Enrich real-time streaming data with structured table lookups.
-
Store user inputs from forms and data entry nodes.
🔗 Option 2: Connect Data via Workflow Toolkit
Rayven’s Workflow Builder includes a comprehensive toolkit of pre-built protocol-level, system-level, and API-level connectors that allow you to ingest real-time or scheduled data automatically.
You can use these drag-and-drop nodes to pull, push, or listen for data from virtually any source — devices, cloud platforms, databases, and third-party services.
Ready-to-Go Connectors Include:
Key Features:
-
Real-time or scheduled data ingestion.
-
Drag-and-drop setup with minimal configuration.
-
Full support for data mapping, transformation, and validation.
-
Scalability to thousands of connections and streams.
🧩 Choosing the Right Option
| Use Case | Best Option |
|---|---|
| Static or occasional data uploads | Custom Tables |
| Continuous or real-time data ingestion | Workflow Toolkit |
| IoT device integrations | Protocol Connectors |
| Cloud system integrations | System/API Connectors |
In many solutions, a combination of both options is used — for example, using custom tables for master data and workflows for streaming real-time device data.
✅ Summary
Bringing your data into Rayven is fast, flexible, and scalable.
Whether you upload structured data into custom tables or connect systems and devices via our extensive set of workflow connectors, Rayven gives you complete control to orchestrate, automate, and act on your data — all in real time.
