Build Custom Connectors

APIs power many of the digital services we use daily such as notifications, SMS alerts, reminders, and transactions. These services often expose hundreds of operations via their APIs, making manual coding of client logic tedious and error-prone.

To simplify this, BI allows you to generate custom connectors automatically from a valid OpenAPI specification.

Steps to generate a custom connector

  1. In the Automation diagram view, click the + icon on the flow line between the Start and Error Handler nodes.
  2. In the right-side palette, select Add Connection.
  3. In the Add Connection overlay, click OpenAPI under the Connect via API Specification section.
  4. In the Connector Configuration form, configure the following:
    • Connector Name: Enter stackOverflow.
    • Import Specification File: Click to browse and select your local OpenAPI definition file (e.g., stackexchange.yaml).
  5. Click Save Connector.
  6. On the Create Connection screen, review the Connection Details.
  7. Click Save Connection to finalize the setup.
