Connector sidebar

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Connector sidebar working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up Connector sidebar in this project — explore connectors easier with a new sidebar experience. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

2. 02

   Find the right app connector fast, grouped by category

   The record lists this as one of the jobs Connector sidebar is meant for, so it is a fair first test of whether it fits your app.

   In this project, use Connector sidebar for find the right app connector fast, grouped by category. Build the smallest version that a real user could complete end to end, keep the change scoped to that path, and tell me how to test it myself.

   Expected outcome

   One complete path a user can walk, the files and settings that changed, and the steps to test it. Walk it yourself before you ship it.

3. 03

   Review it before you publish

   Connector sidebar is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.

   Review how this project uses Connector sidebar before I publish. Check sidebar navigation for connectors and grouped connectors by type, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.

   Expected outcome

   A findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.

4. 04

   Manage connector settings without leaving the editor view

   A second job the record lists for Connector sidebar, useful once the first path works.

   Extend this project so Connector sidebar also covers manage connector settings without leaving the editor view. Reuse what is already wired rather than adding a parallel setup, and tell me what you reused and what is new.

   Expected outcome

   A second path built on the same setup, plus a note on what was shared and what was added.
