The Four Core Objects
Automations, assemblies, connectors, and integration suites — the four building blocks every APIANT user encounters.
APIANT has four core object types:
- Automation — A workflow that chains triggers and actions. The unit customers deploy and run.
- Assembly — The reusable building block. Connectors, triggers, and actions are all assemblies. A single assembly can be referenced by many automations.
- Connector — A specialized assembly that handles authentication with an external service (OAuth V2, API Key, or no-auth). Owns the credential lifecycle.
- Integration Suite — A collection of automations deployed together with shared state and coordinated workflows.
The two you will work with most often are automations and assemblies.
In this section
Automations
Foundational concepts for the APIANT automation platform, including automations, triggers, actions, apps, and the automation editor used to build workflows.
Assemblies
Foundational concepts for building automations with APIANT, including assemblies, modules, data streams, wires, and the tools used to design connected software systems.
Connectors
What a connector is, how auth methods differ (OAuth V2, API Key, None), and how credentials are scoped.
Integration Suites
A collection of automations deployed together, sharing state and coordinating across workflows — the unit customers install when they buy a multi-step integration product.
