Connector setup
View as MarkdownA Connector integrates a Flow with an external provider. This page explains how Connectors fit into a Dex deployment and how you set them up.
How it fits with the other components
Official Connectors are released separately from Dex. Your application imports a Connector package. It runs the Connector's operations as Connector Steps. A Trigger turns a provider event into a Flow start or an RPC call. Credentials stay outside durable Flow state.
Find a Connector
Browse the Connector catalog. It lists the released Connectors, their operations, and their language support. The catalog is the reference for each Connector. The Dex Connectors Library holds their source and runnable examples.
Set up Connectors locally
For local development, Dex Web configures Connector accounts and Trigger bindings for a Go application. It does this only in dexcli dev.
- Start dexcli dev with your Flow Definition Graph directory.
- Open the Connectors page in Dex Web and configure each account.
- Start your application with the connection file that Dex Web shows.
The connection file holds plaintext secrets for local use only. Do not commit it or use it in production.
Local Connector setup describes each step and its settings.
