Connectors are used to define a data link that communicates between Scripting and an external system, such as the Facebook or Twitter integrations, or Email (Incoming or Outgoing). They vary between each provider, but typically include some authentication details to link to the desired system, and some configuration to specify how the established link is to be used.
The currently available Connectors within Scripting are listed below:

Connector Type
The type of Connector can be selected here.
|
Connector List
Created Connectors of the currently selected type are displayed in this list.
|
Add New Connector
Clicking this lets you create a new Connector of the currently selected type. The chosen name should be concise, yet descriptive, as it will be used elsewhere within Scripting to choose which Connector is used in a situation.
|
Connector Name
The Connector's name can be altered here if desired. The name that is chosen will be used whenever a Connector is used within Scripting, such as to specify individual feeds to display on the Social Dashboard, or which Connector an Email control will use to send. The Connector's must be uniquely named within each Connector type, although Connectors of different types can share a name.
|
Activate Connector
Unless the Connector is active, the attached feed won't be visible on the Social Dashboard.
|
Delete Connector
Any Connectors that aren't required any more can be deleted.
|
Save Connector
Once the Connector has been configured, the changes must be saved to take effect.
