Connectors help you connect to and exchange data with an application such as NetSuite, SAP, and Salesforce. While Adeptia Connect offers you some pre-bundled connectors, it also gives you the flexibility to add your custom connectors. 

You can add a REST or CDATA based custom connector to the application.
