configuring-connections

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the guesswork of creating working Celigo connections by guiding you to choose the right connection type, authentication model, and iClient setup so integrations can reliably reach external systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Connection-first configuration: Understand how connections act as reusable credential + configuration objects that exports/imports reference by _connectionId, and how connection ordering affects successful setup.
• Auth method decisioning & iClient guidance: Select correct auth shapes (OAuth vs token vs basic vs mTLS) and use iClients for reusable OAuth credential stores, including when a connector provides a global iClient.
• Operational readiness: Cover concurrency planning, offline/online readiness, health monitoring via ping, and practical debugging and common error remediation (401/403/422, offline pings, OAuth invalid_grant).
• Schema-backed setup: Know which base schema to start with and which type-specific schema to consult for every supported connection type (HTTP, Salesforce, NetSuite, RDBMS, FTP/S3/Filesystem, AS2/VAN, MCP, wrapper).

Quick Start

Use the configuring-connections skill to create a new OAuth-based HTTP connection by setting the correct connection type and auth shape, reusing the connector’s global iClient when available, and then validating it with a connection ping.
