A connector specifies how the Loader Service connects to an external system or application and ingests data using a certain protocol, service, or Application Programming Interface (API). An instance of a connector with defined properties in a tenant is an External Data Source. You can create an external data source using a connector with the Data Manager. You can also develop your own connector using the Connector SDK.
