# Databricks Partner Connect

You can now use [Databricks Partner Connect](https://www.databricks.com/partnerconnect) to set up your Databricks Delta Lake destination in RudderStack without following the [setup guide instructions]({{< ref "destinations/warehouse-destinations/delta-lake/_index.md#configuring-delta-lake-destination-in-rudderstack" >}}).

Using Partner Connect, RudderStack automatically creates the destination for you with a configuration received from Databricks. Once the destination is set up, you can then add or modify the configuration depending on your requirement.

Before using Partner Connect to set up your Databricks destination, make sure you meet [Databricks' requirements](https://docs.databricks.com/en/partner-connect/index.html#requirements).
