Terms
Connector: A connector connects different systems and applications to allow data to flow between them. A connector includes authentication settings, triggers, and actions.
Trigger: A condition or event that starts a workflow. It can be a time-based schedule or another system event.
Action: An operation that is executed in a workflow. For example, calling an external system API to perform a business operation.
Flow: A combination of triggers and actions from multiple connectors, arranged using a visual interface. A flow connects multiple applications to automate business processes.
Credential management (AuthConfig): A security mechanism that stores and manages authentication information required to access external systems, such as usernames, passwords, and API keys. In Compute Nest AppFlow, credential management protects all sensitive information and allows workflows to securely use this information as needed. The system typically provides encrypted storage and access control to prevent unauthorized access.
