# Connector Actions

> Use schema-driven installed integration actions in durable workflows.

## Add a connector action

1. Open a workflow and add **Installed Integrations → Connector Action**.
2. Select a connector, action, and approved connection.
3. Pin the connector version.
4. Map action inputs from the trigger context or earlier step outputs.
5. Use **Simulate** to validate request rendering without executing a
   destructive operation.

Connector action jobs are durable. The workflow processor records the step,
dispatches it to the dedicated connector worker, and advances the workflow only
after the result is received.

## Expressions and outputs

Inputs support the same workflow expression context as other actions. Prior
connector outputs are available under `steps`:

```text theme={null}
{{ steps.lookup-alert.output.id }}
```

Only the connector manifest's projected output is persisted. Authentication
headers, credential fields, and configured secret paths are redacted.

## Destructive actions

Actions marked destructive must immediately follow an approved workflow gate;
execution is rejected otherwise. Simulation
does not send the vendor request. Production deployments force
`CONNECTOR_MOCK_DESTRUCTIVE=0`; use test credentials and vendor sandboxes for
validation.

## Version upgrades

Changing a connector version is an explicit workflow edit. Re-run simulation
and publish a new workflow version after reviewing any input or output schema
changes.
