Connectors - Nora

A Connector is a saved credential for an external system. Once you set one up, any pipeline in the workspace can use it, with no re-authing per pipeline.

Available connectors

Provider	Credential
Google Drive	Service account JSON: share the service-account email onto your Shared Drive (read access)
Microsoft 365	Directory (tenant) ID · Application (client) ID · Client secret
Slack	Bot token (`xoxb-…`) · Signing secret (optional)
Discord	Bot token
Tavily	API key (`tvly-…`)
Brave Search	Subscription token

More are added over time; the Pick a provider panel in the app shows the current set.

Creating a connector

Settings → Connectors → + Add connector.
Pick the provider.
Give it a memorable name and paste the credential from the table above.
Save connector.

Once saved, credentials are encrypted at rest. The UI never shows the raw value again.

Using a connector

In any Source node, pick the connector from the dropdown. The node surfaces config specific to that system (which folder, which channel, etc).

Least privilege

For Google Drive, share only the folders the pipeline needs with the service account, read-only.
For Slack and Discord, give the bot only the channels and scopes it needs.
Keep one connector per purpose rather than one broad credential for everything.

Deletion

Deleting a connector fails if any pipeline still references it. Update the pipelines first, then delete.
