The Connector Builder is a no-code API integration tool that lets you connect any Cloud app or custom service. Create custom connectors (packages) for various web applications or services that use APIs, and then use them in your automations.

Note:
  • Connector Builder is available with AWS and GCP for Cloud and On-Premises.
  • Connector Builder requires the Enterprise Platform license. For more information about supported versions for this feature, see Enterprise Platform.

Overview

Connectors or packages in the Control Room are the foundation of any type of automation. A package is built to perform certain tasks and the Control Room includes various packages to perform various tasks. While the Control Room provides various packages, you might want to build and use your packages or use third-party packages that are currently unavailable in the Control Room for your automations. A connector is a package that connects the Control Room with any application via API and can perform one or more operations in that application: for example, create or update resources. You will notice connector and package used interchangeably. They both refer to the custom integration you build with Connector Builder.

You can also import API definition files using Connector Builder to build custom connectors. Connector Builder supports Open API versions 2.x and 3.x.

Benefits

Connector Builder is useful in the following scenarios:

  • To create packages unavailable in the Control Room.
  • To create packages using private (in-house) APIs.
  • To include additional actions to the existing Packages available in the Control Room.
  • To create custom packages if the Packages that are available in the Control Room do not meet your requirements.

Workflow example

The following example describes how to create, edit, configure actions, and customize custom connectors:

  1. Create custom connector
  2. Configure action in connector editor
  3. Use connector editor
  4. Publish custom connector
Connector Builder workflow
Note: When you create packages using the Connector Builder tool, you must manage the packages. Managing the packages includes updating the packages, publishing the packages, fixing any errors, and managing the package versions.
