Configuring a connector in Data Connectors refers to the process of setting up and configuring how data is exchanged between Sprinklr and external systems. A connector acts as an interface or bridge that facilitates the flow of data between Sprinklr and other platforms (For example CRMs, databases, social media platforms). Configuring this connector ensures that the correct data is pulled, pushed, or synchronized according to specific business needs.
