OpenC Connectors for Claris Connect
Claris Connect had two types of connectors.
Many connectors are friendly wrappers for the API of a SaaS product. Claris Connect includes many of these by default and their number is increasing with each release. These have your back when you have to generate a Stripe payment link when someone submits your Studio appointment form.
The other type is the utility conncetors. The number of utilities Claris provides us with, such as “add two numbers” or “generate UUID” is impressive, given that this is actually akin to building the functionality of a programming language from scratch. Thanks to these utilities, you can now generate an order number on today’s date to provide to Stripe, all from within your same Connect flow.
But your next task is to generate a QR code of the payment link and email it to the customer, along with an iCal file of their appointment.
Is there an API that outputs QR codes? Sure, but – assumed that QR.io had a connector – why pay $35/month just for being able to generate a QR code, something that is trivial in other programming environments? And we have not even thought about the iCal file.
A third category of connectors has been missing: the higher-level power utilities.
Until today. Meet the OpenC Connectors, your power utilities for Claris Connect.
