Prerequisites
This guide assumes that you have an account to get started. Don’t have an account? You can create a Playground account from your Hitchhikers profile .

Overview

This guide will walk you through how to create a push connector.

We will be walking you through the steps assuming you have a way to send a POST request to an API endpoint.

Push Connectors Overview

With the “Push to API” source, you can create a Connector that will process data pushed to our /connectors API endpoint and turn it into entities in Yext Content.

In order to do this, you will need to create an App with permissions on the /connectors API endpoint. You can create an App with the correct permissions via the Yext Developer Console or directly from the Connectors page in Content. For this guide, we will walk through creating the App via the Connectors UI.
