Considerations for using advanced connectors

Updated 

Boomi Connect supports the following advanced connectors: Google Ad Manager SOAP, NetSuite REST, NetSuite SOAP, OpenAPI, Salesforce REST, and ServiceNow REST.

Advanced connectors might have connector-specific requirements and considerations in addition to the common advanced connector behavior.

Advanced connector configuration considerations

  • During initial configuration, you can add as many tools as needed.
  • After you enable at least one tool and save the configuration, you can update existing configurations, including adding tools, without creating a new configuration or reconfiguring your MCP client.

OpenAPI connector considerations

OpenAPI is one of the advanced connectors available in Boomi Connect. The following considerations apply when administrators configure the OpenAPI connector in Boomi Connect. Refer to OpenAPI connector for information about this connector.

  • Specification file size: YAML specifications over 3 MB fail to load. Convert the specification to JSON format to avoid this limit.

  • Manual connection setup required: Enter the connection details manually, including the server URL, auth URL, token URL, and scopes. These values are not automatically populated from the OpenAPI specification.

  • Supported authentication types: Use one of the following:

    • Basic Auth: Provide a username and password.
    • API Key: Provide an API key.
    • OAuth 2.0: Use either the client credentials or authorization code grant type.

  • Supported specification versions: Use OpenAPI Specification version 3.0 or higher. Older versions, such as Swagger 2.0, are not supported.

  • Public specification URL required: Provide the OpenAPI specification as a public URL. Specifications hosted in private or restricted locations cannot be loaded.
