Managing Connector Shapes and Properties

As a Connector developer, it's important to note that there are key behaviors associated with managing Connector Shapes and Properties. These behaviors are outlined below.

Shapes​

  • Adding New Shapes: New Shapes are automatically added to all of a Connector's Integrations but are disabled by default.
  • Deleting Shapes: Deleting a Shape removes it from all of a Connector's Integrations.
  • Modifying Existing Shapes: Modifications to Shapes do not affect a Connector's Integrations.

Properties​

  • Adding New Properties: New Properties are automatically added to all of a Connector's Integrations.
  • Deleting Properties: Deleting a Property removes it from all of a Connector's Integrations.
  • Modifying Existing Properties: Modifications to Properties do not affect a Connector's Integrations.

Importing a Connector​

When you import a Connector that already has Integrations, please be aware of how changes to Shapes and Properties will affect those Integrations:

Shapes​

  • New Shapes are added to all of a Connector's Integrations.
  • Deleted Shapes are removed from all of a Connector's Integrations.
  • Modified Shapes do not affect a Connector's Integrations.

Properties​

  • New Properties are added to all of a Connector's Integrations.
  • Deleted Properties are removed from all of a Connector's Integrations.
  • Modified Properties do not affect a Connector's Integrations.

Closing Statement​

Keep these behaviors in mind when developing your Connector and carefully manage deletions and changes to all fields, keeping user impacts in mind to prevent data loss.
