What are Connectors?

Connectors are apps, logic, or utilities used within a workflow. Each connector can contain multiple app actions. There are four main types of connectors available in Alloy's workflow canvas:

Trigger Connectors

These connectors invoke a workflow. Learn more about trigger connectors.

App Connectors

Similar to a trigger, app connectors can perform actions using the apps you have selected. You can simply drag and drop an app connector onto the workflow canvas to get started.

Utility Connectors

The utility connectors allow you to format text, perform math, and also perform a variety of other data operations based on the outputs of other connectors, which makes them slightly different from your typical connector.

Additionally, they allow you to perform operations such as writing custom code or generating dynamic dates.

Logic Connectors

These connectors are used when performing logical operations (i.e. loop, conditional, etc)
