Connectors are used in two main areas: creating workflows in Task Flows (API Integrator) and sending API traffic logs to different systems in Gateway Environments. Each connector is customized to communicate with a specific system or protocol and can be easily used with form-based configuration without the need to write code.
Module’s Core Components
The Connectors module forms the foundation of integration and automation operations on the Apinizer platform. With this module:Task Flow Integrations
You can establish connections to different systems in Task Flows and exchange data.
API Traffic Log Management
You can route API traffic logs to different target systems.
Data Operations
You can perform database operations, message queue operations, and file transfers.
Communication and Logging
You can configure email sending, notification, and logging operations.
Connector Types
