Custom Connector Docs

This repository contains the official documentation and SDK for developers to build custom adapters (connectors) for the Workato platform. It enables the creation of private or public connectors to integrate with any application's API, extending Workato's automation capabilities. ## Key Features - **Custom Adapter Development** — Build connectors using a Ruby-based SDK to define triggers, actions, and object definitions. - **Multiple Authentication Methods** — Supports Basic Auth, API Key, OAuth 2.0, and custom authentication schemes. - **Trigger Types** — Includes poll triggers (classic and descending) and webhook triggers for real-time event handling. - **Dynamic Object Definitions** — Define input/output schemas statically or dynamically based on API responses. - **Pick Lists & Configuration Fields** — Create dynamic dropdowns and context-dependent input fields for recipe builders. - **Example Connectors** — Provides numerous sample adapters for popular services like Harvest, Freshdesk, and Podio. ## Philosophy The SDK is designed to abstract authentication and request handling, allowing developers to focus on defining business logic and data mappings for seamless integration within the Workato ecosystem.
