Create a connector
Step-by-step guide to creating a new connector in the Dev Portal.
To create a connector, open the Dev Portal and click Add connector.
Fill in the required fields in the creation dialog:
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | Display name for the connector. Can be changed later. |
| Type | Yes | Data source, Export, Export delta, etc. Cannot be changed after creation. |
| Description | No | Short description shown to end-users. |
| Flow | No | Default, Standalone, or Migration. Defaults to Default. Cannot be changed after creation. |
| Execution mode | No | Environment variable (recommended) or Command options. Cannot be changed after creation. |
| Owner | No | The organization that owns this connector. Defaults to your organization. |
For detailed explanations of each field, see Connector details.
Choose Type, Flow, and Execution mode carefully — they're locked after creation.
Click Add connector. The connector is created and you're taken to the setup wizard, which guides you through the remaining configuration:
- Version Control configuration — connect to your Git repository
- Application configuration — define how to run your connector
- Authentication and secrets (optional) — set up auth providers and vault secrets
- Individual configuration (optional) — define form fields for end-users
- Execution configuration — review how config values are passed at runtime
- Type-specific configuration — additional settings based on connector type
Once configured, proceed to Build and deploy to build and release your connector.
