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.

FAQ
Common questions about connector
What if my app isn't supported?
Use the universal HTTP action to call any REST API. Tiny Command also auto-generates basic connectors from OpenAPI specs.
How are connectors maintained?
The platform owner updates connectors when the underlying API changes. Tiny Command monitors API changelogs and pushes updates automatically.
