Can I connect Databricks directly to Salesforce CRM for live data access?

syamsubrahmanya — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 06:40:32 GMT

Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on integrating Databricks with Salesforce CRM. I want to know if it's possible to connect Databricks directly to Salesforce CRM to access live (real-time or near real-time) data—not just periodic batch exports.

Specifically, I'm looking for options like:

Live querying Salesforce data from Databricks
Streaming or incremental updates from Salesforce to Databricks

Has anyone implemented a real-time or near real-time integration between Databricks and Salesforce CRM? What’s the recommended approach?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @syamsubrahmanya ,

Yes, you can use Lakehouse Federation to query Salesforce data from Databricks

And you can use Lakeflow Connect to ingest data from salesforce:
