What advantages do pre-built connectors in UiPath Integration Service offer?

UiPath Integration Service is the component of the UiPath Platform that makes the automation of third-party applications much easier by standardizing authorization and authentication, helping you manage API connections and also allowing faster integration into SaaS platforms1. By using pre-built connectors, the development of automation projects in UiPath Studio is more simple and more consistent, regardless of the third-party applications you are automating1. Some of the advantages of pre-built connectors are:

They enable automation with an out-of-the-box library of connectors for popular applications such as Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft Office 365, SAP, ServiceNow, and Google G Suite23.

They help setting up and managing connections easily with standardized authentication methods such as OAuth 2.0, Basic, API Key, and Custom1.

They enable kicking off automations with server-side triggers or events, such as receiving an email, creating a record, or updating a field1.

They provide curated activities and events (with additional data filters) for ease of use in UiPath Studio1.

They simplify automation design by providing a uniform experience across all Studio designers1.

They integrate across all UiPath Platform product solutions, such as UiPath Orchestrator, UiPath Assistant, UiPath Action Center, and UiPath Apps3.
