Connector Builder

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. It requires an Enterprise Platform license and is not available with the base license.

Note:
  • Connector Builder is available with AWS and GCP Cloud.
  • The Connector Builder requires the Enterprise Platform license. For more information about supported version 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.

Connector Builder is useful in the following scenarios:

  • You want to create packages unavailable in the Control Room.
  • You want to create packages using private (in-house) APIs.
  • Packages available in the Control Room are missing certain actions you want to use in your automations.
  • 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

Note: When you create packages using the Connector Builder tool, you will need to manage the packages, including updating the packages, publishing the packages, fixing any errors, and managing the package versions.
