Service Providers
A service provider is a third-party API provider that your integration interacts with. For example Slack, Notion, and Salesforce are service providers. We support a growing number of service providers, and if you’re looking for a service provider we don’t support, we’re typically able to add it within a few days.Integrations
An integration is an application that interacts with your product and your users’ account with a service provider. Strata is designed for integrations that need to extract data from service providers (ETL), keep data in sync with service providers (bi-directional sync), or take actions in service providers.Integration Users
An integration user is a user of your integration. For some of our customers, this is a single individual. For others, it’s an entire organization.Connections
A connection is created when a user authorizes your integration. A connection typically contains the following data:- Credentials for accessing the service provider’s APIs
- A list of scopes that the user has granted to your integration
- Additional metadata about the user’s account with the service provider (e.g. team ID, subdomain, instance URL)
Syncs
A sync is a process that reads data from a source and writes it to a destination. Creating a sync involves configuring the following settings:| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Source | A service provider from which you will extract data |
| Destination | Where you want the data delivered |
| Streams | Which streams of data should be synced |
| Sync mode | How data should be replicated from the source to the destination |
| Sync Frequency | How often the sync should run |
