viaSocket Help

Get Started with Plug Builder

Plug Builder converts existing APIs into native viaSocket integrations.

#

Plug Architecture

A Plug bridges your service and the viaSocket engine via three layers:

  • Connection: Authentication logic (OAuth, Basic Auth, or No Auth).

  • Triggers: Workflow initiation events.

  • Actions: Tasks performed by your service.

#

Core Capabilities

viaSocket handles the integration infrastructure:

  • Auth Management: Secure token storage and auto-refresh.

  • User Connections: Pre-built UI for account linking.

  • Data Mapping: Intuitive UI for workflow data binding.

  • Execution: Reliable trigger monitoring and task dispatch.

#

Build Workflow

  1. Create: Initialize your Plug with a name and domain.

  2. Authenticate: Configure Connection settings.

  3. Define: Build Triggers and Actions.

  4. Configure: Define Input Fields.

  5. Test: Validate against the Test environment.

  6. Publish: Deploy privately or to the Marketplace.
