Connections - Overview

Opening the homepage of your Conigma Connect workspace, you can use the menu on the left to navigate to Connections.

This is the main interface you use when first establishing communication between Connect and your target endpoints. Everything from importing OpenAPI definitions to setting authentication happens here.

Opening Connections first presents you with a list of all currently defined connections in your system that you can inspect, copy, delete, or modify. At the top you find a toolbar with different ways to create a new connection.

The Import Connection option lets you upload a connection configuration that was created in Conigma Connect previously. This import uses a local JSON file that you generated by exporting the connection.

The next option is to Import from OpenAPI Definition. Since OpenAPI is the de facto industry standard for describing APIs and how to interact with them, Conigma Connect fully supports consuming OpenAPI definitions you might find online. This way you do not need to configure endpoints manually, as the details are taken directly from the JSON definition you have saved locally.

The last option in the toolbar is to Manually Create a Connection. This is useful if you only need access to a few operations, do not have an OpenAPI definition, or it lacks public documentation. Pressing this button opens a new empty connection that you can configure freely. This method is also well suited for general testing.
