Connectors

Connect third-party platforms to your project.

What Are Connectors?

Connectors let a project talk to external services — like Chocolate Factory for AI agents — without hardcoding credentials into your app. You store a provider’s API key (and any other required fields) once at the project level, and Buildpad keeps it available for your generated app to use.

Connecting a Provider

Open a project and click Connectors in the sidebar.
Find the provider you want to connect and click Connect.
Fill in the required credential fields (e.g. an API key). Buildpad stores these securely.
Optionally give the connection a label to tell it apart from others later.

Once connected, the card shows a Connected status and the label you chose. You can Edit a connection at any time to update its credentials, or Disconnect it to remove access.

Connecting a provider here stores its credentials at the project level. You still need to push them to your app’s deployment environment before your code can use them.

Platform and Playbook Links

Each connector card includes two quick links:

Platform — opens the provider’s own external site or dashboard (e.g. the Chocolate Factory Portal).
Playbook — opens Buildpad’s integration playbook for that provider, with guidance on wiring it into your generated app.
