# About the Snowflake Cortex connector

> Integration Service connector for Snowflake Cortex, enabling AI-powered data analysis by orchestrating across structured and unstructured sources using Cortex Agents, LLMs, Cortex Analyst, and Cortex Search.

Cortex Agents orchestrate across both structured and unstructured data sources to deliver insights. They plan tasks, use tools to execute these tasks, and generate responses.
Agents use Cortex Analyst (structured) and Cortex Search (unstructured) as tools, along with LLMs, to analyze data.

This integration is only available for workflows created in UiPath Maestro<sup>TM</sup>, using the **Start and Wait for External Agent** action.

:::note
This connector facilitates interactions with Cortex Agents. This feature is subject to a time limit, the final response from a Cortex Agent must arrive at UiPath within 120 seconds. This is a limitation of the current versions.

## Authentication

Before automating processes, you need to establish a connection with your Snowflake Cortex instance. Step-by-step instructions are available in the [Snowflake Cortex authentication](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/uipath-snowflake-cortex-authentication) page.

## Events

This connector does not currently support events.

## Activity package

You can use the connection to interact with a Snowflake Cortex agent in an agentic process. For a full list of supported activities, visit the [Snowflake Cortex activities](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/uipath-snowflake-cortex-about) page.

The generic **HTTP Request** activity, which is also available in RPA workflows, enables you to call any Cortex API endpoint not covered by the predefined activities.
