These connectors only apply to Embedded iPaaS

​
Overview

Utility connectors are system-level connectors that perform transformations, formatting, and control operations within a workflow.
Unlike application connectors, which communicate with external APIs, utility connectors run entirely inside Embedded iPaaS and handle intermediate data processing. They are typically used to:
  • Prepare or normalize data before sending it to another system.
  • Apply logic, encryption, or formatting between workflow steps.
  • Manage data lists, text, and JSON objects programmatically.
  • Control workflow behavior (e.g., triggering another workflow or stopping execution).

​
Why Use Utility Connectors

Utility connectors act as the “glue” between integrations. They allow developers to build reliable, production-ready workflows that do more than just move data between APIs—they transform, validate, and route it intelligently. For example:
  • Use Format Data to convert currencies or clean up phone numbers.
  • Use Mapper to rename JSON keys before sending to an API.
  • Use AES-256 Encryption to secure sensitive fields.
  • Use SMTP to send notifications.
  • Use Trigger Another Workflow to modularize complex automations.
By combining these utility connectors with app connectors, developers can construct complex, end-to-end integrations entirely within Embedded iPaaS without external code or scripts.
