The Smart Connector User Experience is a feature that allows you to add new connections directly into the flow without having to drag and drop them from the palette of connectors and capsules. You can also use this feature to perform a unified search for elements in the canvas.
The available connections include:
Follow these steps to use the Smart Connector:
Click on the + button at the end or in the middle of the flow.
In the window that opens, you can scroll down to see all available connectors, capsules, and endpoints or use the search bar to search for a specific connector, capsule, or endpoint.
Use the filters on the right side of the window to see:
All Results: all results, including AI suggestions, connectors, capsules, and endpoints.
Endpoint: the available REST endpoints of the deployed pipelines in your realm, regardless of their environment.
Pipeline: the deployed pipelines in your realm and their versions, regardless of their environment. Currently, the Smart Connector only filters pipelines that are deployed with a REST Trigger.
Connectors: only connectors.
Capsules: only capsules.
Click on the desired element to automatically add it as the next step of the flow.
Learn more about each type of connection available on the Smart Connector.
Connectors are tools used to perform certain operations or functions as part of an integration flow. Each connector represents a step in the integration flow and can be used according to different business requirements.
Learn more about the available connectors on the Digibee Integration Platform.
Capsules are a set of configured connectors that are encapsulated to be reused in pipeline construction. Since they allow modularizing business logic, it becomes easier to manage, maintain, and update individual parts of the system, as well as decrease the pipeline building time.
You can create and maintain your own capsules or use the public capsules that have been created by the Digibee team and are available for all realms.
Learn more about Capsules on the Digibee Integration Platform.
AI suggestions come from Digibee's AI Assistant for Next Steps Recommendation, which gives tips on the next connector to add to your integration. This feature speeds up flow creation by identifying frequently used connectors based on past choices and using statistical analysis to suggest the best ones for your pipeline. It helps streamline decision-making, so you don't have to search through all the connectors.
The Assistant offers up to 10 suggestions, ranked by probability, with the first being the most likely. You can review and choose the best option for your integration based on these data-driven recommendations.

REST endpoints are created when pipelines that use the REST Trigger are deployed, and they can be retrieved on the Run page.
In the Smart Connector User Experience, you can easily search for the endpoints available in your realm. Once you have selected one of the options, a REST connector will automatically be added to the flow with the URL and Verb parameters filled in.
Pipelines deployed with a REST Trigger in all environments in your realm can be called synchronously or asynchronously to the flow you are creating by using the Pipeline Executor connector.
To do this using the Smart Connector User Experience, simply select the desired pipeline from the list. A Pipeline Executor connector will be added to your flow with the Pipeline Name and Version Major parameters filled in.
