Connector

noun · also: integration, api, oauth

What is connector?

A connector is a pre-built integration to a specific app — Slack connector, Stripe connector, HubSpot connector.

Definition

Full definition of connector

Connectors handle the authentication (OAuth dance, API key storage), expose actions (the things the app can do), and surface triggers (events you can react to). Tiny Command has 400+ connectors covering the most-used SaaS tools. Connectors save you from reading API docs and hand-writing HTTP requests — the value-add of any automation platform.
