With certain Cyclr Price Plans, it is possible to create Custom Connectors.
Cyclr has a vast collection of 600+ Application Connectors, and we are continuously expanding our Application Connector library. However, if you need to connect to an application or system that is not yet available in the library, you have two options. You can commission our expert team to build the Connector for you, or you can build your own Custom Connector using the Custom Connector Toolkit.
The availability to build a Custom Connector is dependent on your price plan. If you cannot find the option on your Cyclr Console but would like to have it, please get in touch to discuss upgrading your plan.
Custom Connectors are private to the Cyclr Partner Console they were created in and do not appear in Cyclr’s shared Connector Libraries.
Connector Basics #
A connector may have various Releases. When you add a new connector only certain basic naming details are entered. The main details of the specification of the connector are provided at the connector release level. A connector can have only one ‘live’ release and there may be previous deprecated versions.
There may also be a ‘draft’ release which is a pending update or extension to the connector. Pushing the draft release live will cause the current live release to become deprecated.
When a release is pushed live this might be done as a Major release which will cause an ‘update available’ message to appear on all Steps in templates and live integrations using the connector. A Major release should generally be used when existing methods need to be updated. A Minor release can be used when there are no changes being made (or only very minor ones) to existing methods, or when new methods are being added.
We have full tutorial courses on how to build Custom Connectors and how to use the Custom Connector Toolkit available on the Community Site for registered users.
