Connectors

Connectors link your flow to external services and APIs; like Slack, HubSpot, or Google Sheets, enabling seamless data exchange.

When you add a connector step, you’ll go through:

• Select: Choose the group type (Fastn Connector or Custom Connector) → then select the app.

• Endpoint: Pick the task you want to automate (e.g., sendMessage, getContacts).

• Connect: Authenticate by connecting your account.

For example, for the Google Cloud Storage Connector, a selected endpoint can be createBucket.

• Configure: Fill in the required fields or map from previous steps.

In this example,

Google Cloud Storage - Create Bucket

This connector action lets you create a new storage bucket in your Google Cloud project. You can map variables or outputs from previous steps into its configuration.

Params mapped in configuration

param.project      = {{var.googleProjectId}}
body.storageClass  = STANDARD
body.name          = {{var.bucketName}}
body.location      = US

• param.project is mapped from a variable that holds your GCP project ID (googleProjectId).

• body.name is dynamically mapped from a variable bucketName ; allowing each flow run to create a bucket with a unique name.

• body.storageClass and body.location are fixed values here (STANDARD, US) but could also be mapped from variables or other steps.

The configuration parameters can be static values or mapped from previous steps as shown in this example.
