Advanced integrations

Use Advanced Integrations to connect Yarken with supported external systems through integrations that Yarken deploys and maintains for your environment.

Advanced Integrations are not enabled by default. Yarken enables the required integrations for your environment during implementation or onboarding. The integrations available to you can vary by environment.

What Advanced Integrations do

Advanced Integrations automate supported data collection and ingestion workflows that require provider-specific credentials, permissions, or managed integration logic.

Depending on the integration, you can use Advanced Integrations to:

Collect AI usage, cost, token, and metrics data.
Import provider recommendations.
Automate file ingestion from supported cloud storage providers.
Load provider data into the applicable Yarken destination for reporting and analysis.

What you manage

After Yarken deploys the integration, your organization manages the customer-facing connection and pipeline controls.

Activity	Responsibility
Enable and deploy the Advanced Integration	Yarken
Maintain the underlying integration and transformation logic	Yarken
Prepare provider credentials, roles, and permissions	Your organization
Authorize Advanced Connections	Your Yarken administrator
Run, activate, or deactivate Advanced pipelines	Admin or Cost Model Manager
Review pipeline status and run history	Admin or Cost Model Manager
Validate imported data	Your organization

You cannot edit the deployed Advanced Integration logic in Yarken. Yarken manages the underlying integration workflow. You manage the supported connection and pipeline controls exposed in the Yarken interface.

Where to manage Advanced Integrations

Advanced Integrations use two customer-facing areas in Yarken:

Area	Location	Use it to
Advanced Connections	Admin > Pipelines > Connections > ADVANCED	Authorize the provider connection and review whether it is Access requested or Connected.
Advanced pipelines	Admin > Pipelines > Pipelines > ADVANCED	Run the integration, activate or deactivate recurring execution, and review run status and history.

How Advanced Integrations work

Advanced Integrations use several components to securely retrieve, process, and load data from supported external systems into Yarken. The components used depend on the integration.

Component	Purpose
Advanced Connection	Securely authenticates Yarken with the external provider using the required credentials and permissions.
Yarken-managed integration workflow	Retrieves data from the source and performs the processing required by the integration.
Data Mapping Template — where required	Maps source data to the applicable Yarken structure before ingestion. For Advanced Integrations, Yarken applies and manages the required template. You do not need to configure or edit it.
Advanced pipeline	Runs the deployed integration and provides customer-facing controls for manual runs, activation, status, and run history.
Yarken destination	Stores the processed data in the applicable Yarken area, such as AI Usage Data, Cloud Usage Data, Companion Metrics, or Recommendations.

Typical integration flow

External provider

The external system provides the source data, such as AI usage, cloud files, metrics, or recommendations.
Advanced Connection

Yarken uses the authorized connection to securely access the provider using the credentials and permissions supplied by your organization.
Yarken-managed integration workflow

The deployed integration retrieves and processes the source data. Yarken manages the underlying workflow and transformation logic.
Data Mapping Template — where required

For integrations that require data mapping, Yarken automatically applies the required Data Mapping Template. You do not configure or edit this template.
Advanced pipeline

The pipeline runs the integration and lets authorized users run it manually, activate or deactivate recurring execution, and review run results.
Yarken destination

Yarken loads the processed data into the destination configured for the integration. Depending on the integration, this can include AI Usage Data, Cloud Usage Data, Companion Metrics, Recommendations, or another supported Yarken destination.

Note: Not every Advanced Integration uses every component. The exact workflow depends on the provider and the type of data being ingested.

About the integration technology
Yarken Advanced Integrations are powered by Workato, which provides the embedded integration technology used to connect supported external systems with Yarken. You continue to authorize connections, run integrations, and monitor activity from within Yarken.

BASIC and ADVANCED integrations

Integration type	Use it when	Setup ownership
BASIC	You are configuring a supported native Yarken connection and pipeline for standard cloud storage or API ingestion.	Your administrator or Cost Model Manager creates and manages the supported connection and pipeline in Yarken.
ADVANCED	You are using a supported integration that requires a Yarken-deployed workflow, provider-specific authorization, or managed transformation logic.	Yarken deploys and maintains the integration. Your organization authorizes the connection and operates the exposed pipeline controls.

Supported Advanced Integrations

The integrations available to your organization depend on what Yarken has enabled for your environment.

Category	Supported integration	Purpose
AI usage and consumption	Anthropic AI Consumption	Collect Claude Enterprise cost and usage data for AI Consumption reporting.
	OpenAI AI Consumption	Collect OpenAI API Platform usage and cost data for AI Consumption reporting.
	GitHub Copilot Usage	Collect GitHub Copilot usage and related reporting data.
	Cursor	Collect supported Cursor AI usage data.
	LiteLLM	Collect supported AI usage data from a configured LiteLLM deployment.
	Azure AI Foundry	Collect supported Azure AI Foundry metrics into Companion Metrics for reporting and analysis.
Cloud storage	Amazon S3	Automate file ingestion from supported Amazon S3 storage.
	Azure Blob Storage	Automate file ingestion from supported Azure Blob Storage.
	Google Cloud Storage	Automate file ingestion from supported Google Cloud Storage.
Recommendations	AWS Recommendations	Import supported AWS optimization recommendations into Yarken.

Only integrations enabled for your Yarken environment appear in the ADVANCED tabs. If you need an integration that is not available, contact your Yarken implementation or support contact.

Before you begin

Before you authorize or run an Advanced Integration:

Confirm that Yarken has enabled the required integration for your environment.
Review the provider-specific prerequisites for the integration.
Prepare the required provider credentials, roles, permissions, or service accounts.
Use a Yarken administrator account to authorize the Advanced Connection.
Store provider secrets according to your organization's credential-management policy.
