# Ingest External Channel Revenue Data Into Data Cloud

To ingest high-volume back-office ERP logs and operational data into Data Cloud, connect your external data sources to the engine.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

For example, you can bring in external channel data directly using standard Salesforce integration mechanisms. Review the Data Cloud documentation to establish data stream connections using:

- [Ingestion API](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-ingestion-api.html)
- [Data Source Configuration in Data Cloud](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_connection_tasks.htm&language=en_US&type=5)
- [Connect and Ingest Data in Data Cloud](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_ingestion.htm&language=en_US&type=5)
- [MuleSoft Anypoint Connector for Salesforce Data Cloud](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-mulesoft.html)

After connecting your data source, ensure that fields are appropriately mapped to your target Data Lake Objects (DLOs) to enable high-speed processing.
