Connector editor online - compatibility considerations

Overview​

Bizagi's Integration Hub offers within its options, a connector editor integrated into Bizagi Studio where you can create your connectors.

Connectors can be created through this option or using the Connector Editor online. The Connector Editor online is an SDK provided by Bizagi Ltd, which only requires a browser.

Even though both editors are fully functional for creating connectors, there are some compatibility considerations to take into account in case you work with both of them:

  • Considerations when going from Bizagi Studio to Online Connector Editor
  • Considerations when going from Online to Bizagi Studio Connector Editor

Available actions​

If you are working in the Connector Editor integrated in Bizagi Studio and create a REST connector, you will find 5 available actions: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.

However, if you download the connector file and upload it in the Connector Editor online, the latter only supports 4 actions: GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Therefore, if you had a PATCH action and change this action's type, you will not be able to change it back.

Connectors Authentication methods​

When working in Bizagi Studio's connector editor, you can define the authentication at an action level (this means that you define each action's authentication method). However, the Connector Editor online supports authentication at a connector level (that is, you define the authentication method or methods for the connector as a whole).

If you define different authentication methods for the actions of a connector in Bizagi Studio:

When opening the connector in the Connector Editor online, the authentication types that apply for the actions will be checked as authentication methods for the connector.

Connectors Authentication methods​

When working in the Connector Editor online, the editor supports authentication at a connector level (that is, you define the authentication method or methods for the connector as a whole). However, when working in Bizagi Studio's connector editor, you can define authentication at an action level (this means that you define each action's authentication method).

If you define one or more authentication methods for a connector in the Connector Editor online:

OnlineToStudio_01

The actions in Bizagi Studio's connector editor will not have any authentication method configured. Hence, you will need to configure them manually:
