Connectors provide authenticated access to systems. Connections are setup once using a Connector and then that Connection can be used by one or more recipes.

Connection Status

The status of Connections (that have been setup, i.e. exist) is shown under Assets > Connections: 

Note:

  • Connections, such as to PLEX or other systems, won't appear in Assets until they have been Setup (Created).   
  • After first use of the Connector, it will show in Assets as Connected or as having Errors  -these may be due to incorrect setup properties, invalid credentials or because the credentialled connector "user" has insufficient permissions to access the data in question.
  • Connections may expire, depending on the authentication conditions and may need to be periodically re-connected.
  • Successful recipe execution depends on having a valid and connected Connection.

Connection Setup

Using Create Connection, users can select from the available Workato library of Connectors to create a Connection, including for the Actify-provided Connectors (for APM, PLEX UX)

Further information about available Connectors can be found at:  https://www.workato.com/integrations


Notes

  • Connection setup typically requires a Shared Secret and other IT information. The info panel lists the Connection status, the recipes that use this Connection and recent activity details.
