Data Connect uses Workato to create automated, low-code integrations that let you customize how and when to bring your data into Tealium.

Using custom [recipes](https://docs.tealium.com/workato-glossary/), you can select specific schedules, [triggers](https://docs.tealium.com/workato-glossary/), [actions](https://docs.tealium.com/workato-glossary/), and error handling for your source data.

## Prerequisites

* Learn [Workato terms](https://docs.tealium.com/workato-glossary/) for recipes in Tealium.
* Read the [Workato documentation](https://docs.workato.com/recipes/building-recipes.html) to learn about recipe design.
* Use [Workato tutorials](https://docs.workato.com/getting-started/build-first-recipe.html) to build your first recipe.
* Want to get more in depth training in Workato recipes? Sign up for a [Workato certification](https://docs.workato.com/training/automation-institute.html#what-is-automation-institute).

## IP addresses to allow

Your security requirements or third-party app may require you to add Data Connect IP addresses to your allowlist.
