Fuuz Connections help you integrate your Systems and Devices



What is a Connection in Fuuz?

  1. A Connection is the active link between Fuuz and an external system or device.
  2. Think of it like a USB port on your computer—it’s the physical interface that enables communication.
  3. Once connected, Fuuz uses a Connector (driver) to understand how to interact with the system.

Components of a Connection

  1. Each Connection includes:
    1. Authentication credentials (e.g., username/password, API keys)
    2. Endpoint URL (where the system or device is located)
    3. Protocol settings (e.g., REST, SOAP, FTP)
  2. Security configurations (e.g., token refresh, encryption)

Connections are Unique

  1. Every unique combination of:
  2. Endpoint
  3. Credentials
  4. Protocol
  5. …requires a separate Connection, even if the same Connector is used.

Connections in Action

  1. Connections are used in Flows to perform ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations.
  2. They provide unlimited access to the resources exposed by the external system or device.
  3. Examples:
    1. Pulling data from an ERP
    2. Sending files to an FTP server
    3. Reading sensor data from a PLC
