What does 'the connector bridges the low-code platform and the ERP' mean?
Connectors are the integration building blocks of low-code platforms. An SAP connector handles SAP authentication, BAPI calls, and response parsing — the maker just sees 'Get Purchase Orders' as an action, not the underlying complexity.
2 / 5
What is a 'premium connector' and what does it require?
Low-code platforms distinguish between standard (included in base license) and premium connectors (requiring additional licensing). This licensing model reflects the commercial agreements between the platform vendor and the connected service provider.

What is a 'custom connector that wraps the REST API'?
Custom connectors bridge the gap between low-code and systems that don't have pre-built connectors. A developer defines the connector (endpoint URLs, authentication, actions, schema) using an OpenAPI spec or the platform's connector wizard, then publishes it for makers to use.

What does 'the connector handles authentication automatically' mean?
Connector authentication is configured once (OAuth connection, API key, service account) and then stored securely by the platform. Flows using the connector automatically use the stored credentials, preventing makers from embedding credentials directly in flows.

What is 'data transformation that maps between schemas' in a low-code integration?
Enterprise systems rarely share the same data formats. A low-code integration between an ERP and CRM requires transforming field names, data types, and structure. Platforms provide expression languages (Power Fx, Jinja) and transformation actions to define these mappings without custom code.
