Connector Improvement: connector config documentation

Answered
Yuqing Li User

Hi,

I am trying to use connect card. And to do so, a connector needs to be created as a first step.

But the documentation didn't specify which fields are required to create a working connector and which fields are optional for connector created for connect card.

Take google ads as an example, there are a lot of parameters with in config. I don't want to set customer_id for my end user, they should be able to give that value using connect card. 
It is unclear that which parameters I MUST set at the time of connector creation and which parameters can leave to my end user to fill in. There is no column indicate that in the form below.

    Hi @yuqing, thank you for writing in! 

    This is a bit frustrating, I agree. In most cases, only references related to schema are required to create a connector:

    • "schema"
    • "table"
    • "schema_prefix"

    This is dependent on the connector type. In the google_ads connector, for example, we note in the details for 'schema' that it is "required for connector creation", but it's a bit easy to miss. 

    It's probably worth it for us to invest a bit more time in our Connect Cards documentation to make it clear that creation and config are two separate pieces.
