After creating the data store, connect the data store you just created to an existing app or create a new app and connect it to the new app. Since this connector uses public data, no user authorization is required.

Data handling and query execution

This section describes how Gemini Enterprise manages your query and the privacy implications of using the federated data store.

Query execution

After you authorize Twilio Docs and send a search query to Gemini Enterprise:

• Gemini Enterprise sends your search query directly to the Twilio Docs API.
• Gemini Enterprise blends the results with those from other connected data sources and displays a comprehensive search result.

Data handling

When using third-party federated search, the following data handling rules apply:

• Your query string is sent to the third-party search backend (Twilio Docs API).
• These third parties may associate queries with your identity.
• If multiple federated search data sources are enabled, the query might be sent to all of them.
• After the data reaches the third-party system, it is governed by that system's terms of service and privacy policies.

What's next

• To provide a user interface for querying your Twilio Docs data, create an app and connect it to the Twilio Docs data store.
• To preview how your search results appear after your app is set up, see Get search results.
• To enable alerts for the data store, see Configure alerts for third-party data stores.
