Databricks is a unified data analytics platform for running SQL queries, managing jobs, and working with pipelines and file storage. With the Databricks app in Make, you can manage your Databricks jobs, pipelines, and Unity Catalog volumes in your Databricks account.
:::
::::

:::hint{type="info"}
The Databricks app is only available on the [Make Enterprise plan](https://www.make.com/en/enterprise).
:::

# Requirements

To use the Databricks app in Make, you must have a [Databricks account](https://www.databricks.com/) with a service principal. For subscription information, refer to the [Databricks pricing page](https://www.databricks.com/product/pricing).

:::hint{type="info"}
This connection uses a Databricks service principal. To access resources such as jobs, pipelines, catalogs, or Unity Catalog volumes, the service principal must be granted permissions on each resource. For more information, see the [Databricks OAuth M2M documentation](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/auth/oauth-m2m).

# Connect Databricks and Make

To get started, you must first create a connection between Databricks and Make, allowing the two services to communicate.

To create the connection, you need to:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem

## Obtain your credentials in Databricks

Before you create the connection in Make, you must obtain your Databricks workspace URL and service principal credentials.

To obtain your credentials:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in to your Databricks account.

:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Go to **Settings** > **Identity and access** > **Service principals**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Select your service principal.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem

:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Secrets** tab, generate or copy your OAuth secret. This is your Client secret. Store it in a safe place.
:::
::::

You'll use these values in the **Create a connection** dialog in Make.

## Create the connection in Make

Once you have your Databricks credentials, you're ready to create the connection in Make.

To create the connection:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in to your Make account, add a Databricks module to your scenario, and click **Create a connection**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Optional: In the ​​**Connection name​​** field, enter a name for the connection.
