Developers
Welcome to the Stacksync Developers section. Here, you’ll find everything you need to extend Stacksync’s powerful data sync and workflow automation platform by building your own connectors and modules. Whether you want to integrate new systems, customize data flows, or contribute to the Stacksync ecosystem, these resources will guide you through every step of the process.
Get Started with the Connector Development Kit
The Connector Development Kit (CDK) is your starting point for building integrations with Stacksync. The CDK provides tools, documentation, and templates to help you create, test, and deploy custom connectors quickly and reliably.
What you’ll learn:
Setting up your development environment
Understanding the connector lifecycle
Registering and authenticating your connector
Testing and debugging your integration
Why use it:
Accelerate connector development
Ensure compatibility and security
Contribute to the Stacksync connector ecosystem
Build a Custom Connector
Custom connectors allow you to integrate any third-party application, service, or internal system with Stacksync, even if it’s not natively supported.
What you’ll learn:
Defining connector capabilities (CRUD, triggers, actions)
Implementing authentication and authorization
Handling data mapping and transformation
Packaging and submitting your connector for use
Why build one:
Unlock new integrations for your team
Tailor data sync to your unique business needs
Expand Stacksync’s reach within your organization
Create a Module Schema
A module schema defines the structure of data and operations for your connector or workflow module. With clear schemas, you ensure robust, predictable integrations.
What you’ll learn:
Designing input and output data models
Using JSON Schema for validation
Documenting supported operations and fields
Versioning and updating module schemas
Why it matters:
Guarantees data integrity
Simplifies maintenance and upgrades
Enables seamless collaboration between teams
Module Schema Reference
Access comprehensive documentation for all supported schema fields, data types, and best practices.
What you’ll find:
Detailed reference for schema attributes
Examples of valid schemas for common use cases
Guidance on extending and customizing schemas
Troubleshooting and validation tips
Why use it:
Build modules faster with proven patterns
Avoid common pitfalls
Ensure your connectors and modules are future-proof
