Can you use the preposition "into" with "connected?

Can you use the preposition "into" with "connected"?

Here's the sentence:

"When social data is connected into the platform, it's able to interact with all other data in a unified cross-channel environment."

There is no doubt that "connected into" can be used in certain contexts: ngram, connected into.

As for "connection into a platform" that is another matter; it is usual to connect circuits to other circuits and you might also say "connected into" occasionally, although this is not at all common for circuits (ngram). The idea of connecting into or to a program does not seem right.

ref. Network card A network card or NIC ( network interface card ) enables a computer to be connected into a LAN ( local area network ).

When it comes to data, the concept of connection does not seem proper. Are commonly used the phrases "the data is fed to/into and "feed (the) data to/into sth" (ngram). When dealing with programs, "to feed" is a better term. The following formulation is much preferable, I believe.

• "When social data is fed to the platform, it's able to interact with all other data in a unified cross-channel environment."
