Resources are the data foundations that power your Cargo workspace. They connect your tools, agents, and plays to the information they need—whether that’s structured CRM data, unstructured documents, or your data warehouse.

​
Resource types

Models

Structured data tables that power your plays. Import from CRMs, APIs, webhooks, or SQL queries.

Files

Unstructured content like documents, PDFs, and knowledge bases for semantic search.

Warehouse

Configure your data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) as the system of record.

Activities

Track and analyze workflow executions, node performance, and error rates.
