SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Celigo users often struggle to decide what resource to create first and which skill to use when the task is unclear, leading to misconfigured dependencies and avoidable rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarifies core resource types: Explains how connections, exports, imports, flows, integrations, scripts, APIs, and tools relate in Celigo.
  • Teaches the correct build order: Guides a bottom-up workflow so referenced resources exist before wiring them together.
  • Helps users plan safely: Covers account discovery, sandbox vs production separation, and a design checklist for ambiguous requirements.
  • Maps tasks to the right skill: Provides a direct lookup table from common integration goals to the corresponding skill pages.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Celigo integration and what resources should I create first?

To build a Celigo integration, create resources bottom-up so dependencies exist before wiring them together. Establish connections first, then exports and imports, followed by flows and scripts to avoid misconfigured dependencies and rework.

What is the correct build order for connections, exports, imports, and flows in Celigo?

The correct build order is dependency-first: create connections, then exports and imports, and finally assemble flows and integrations. This bottom-up workflow ensures referenced resources are configured before being wired into higher-level flows.

How do I choose which Celigo skill to use when my integration task requirements are ambiguous?

When integration requirements are ambiguous, use the getting-started skill to map your task type to the corresponding skill page. It provides a direct lookup table from common integration goals to specific skills based on decision matrices.

How do connections, exports, imports, flows, APIs, and tools relate in Celigo?

Connections, exports, imports, flows, APIs, and tools relate hierarchically in Celigo. Connections form the base layer, exports and imports handle data movement, and flows orchestrate these components alongside scripts and APIs into complete integrations.

Should I build my Celigo integration in a sandbox or production environment?

You should separate sandbox and production environments when building Celigo integrations. Maintaining this separation discipline ensures safe account discovery, testing, and requirement design before deploying integration workflows to production.

What should I do if my Celigo integration flow is not working due to missing dependencies?

If a Celigo integration flow is not working, check for missing resource dependencies. Rebuild bottom-up by verifying connections exist first, followed by exports and imports, ensuring all referenced resources are configured before wiring flows.
