## Key benefits

A new connector opens into a four-step checklist, so setup starts from the same list every time.

When a team needs to drive a connector from outside that checklist, the documented API is there for the integration.

## How it works

1. **1. Open a new connector** It opens into a four-step checklist.
2. **2. Work through the checklist** The checklist is the setup for that connector.
3. **3. Use the documented API** Integrations call the documented API when they need more than the checklist.

## Getting started

Open a new connector in Hydden. The four-step checklist is the setup. Integrations use the documented API.

**Need configuration detail?** Technical documentation is available to customers after sign-in.
