Select the connector you want to deploy or install in your environment.

Each connector in the list displays who built it—either CHILI publish or a third-party partner.

This is indicated by the "By" field. For more details, see the Types of Connectors.

Connector Categories

  • Media Connectors: These allow you to integrate external DAM systems or other media repositories (e.g. Dynamic Asset Providers), directly into your template.
  • Data Connectors: These connectors allow access to external Data sources (e.g. Google Sheets, SalesForce).

Select the connector you want to deploy or install in your environment.

For detailed configuration parameters, continue on the relevant connector page in the documentation (see left navigation).

GraFx Studio > Connectors > Select connector

Activate / Deactivate a Connector

To activate or deactivate an installed connector, click the slider in the overview.

  • Available: The connector is available in the Template Designer Workspace (TD Workspace).
  • Not Available: The connector is in the 'not available' state, which is the default status.

Connector Availability Details

If a connector was available in the past but has been set to 'not available' again:

  • The connector remains functionally active in both the Workspace (WRS) and the End User Interface (EU Interface). This means that existing templates using the connector will not break.
  • However, you cannot add a new variable with the connector when it is set to 'not available'.
  • You can still update existing variables that use the connector.
