Creating a Connector App with fs-connector


1. Install the fs-connector Package

First, install the fs-connector package globally using npm:

npm install https://dqphs0heq2n9h.cloudfront.net/app-ecosystem/fs-connector.tgz -g


2. Create a Working Folder for Your App

Navigate to your working directory and create a new folder for your app. Then, change into this new directory:

mkdir SAPSuccessFactors && cd SAPSuccessFactors


3. Create the App Using the fs-connector

Generate a new app using the fs-connector command:

fs-connector create

When prompted, select the your_first_connector_app template if your app has both a widget and background sync use case. If your app only has a background sync use case, select workato_background_connector.


This will initialize your app based on the provided template.



4. Update Connector Name

To ensure the connector name is correct for your integration, you need to make a small modification in the code. Search for the following line:

connection.provider.includes('SAPSuccessFactors')

Replace 'SAPSuccessFactors' with the appropriate connector SDK name as specified by Workato.


By following these steps, you should be able to set up your app using the fs-connector successfully.
