AYSA Execution
Integration Connector
An integration connector is the component that implements authenticated, bounded data or action capabilities between AYSA and an external system.
What it means
A connector declares supported operations, credential method, target identifiers, error behavior and revocation path. One Website Connection can depend on a connector without inheriting every external-system capability.
Why it matters
An explicit capability contract supports least privilege and prevents read-only analytics access from being misrepresented as publishing, purchasing or administrative authority.
Example
A WordPress connector may read and update permitted posts, while a Search Console connector supplies performance data but does not change website content.
Common mistakes
Do not combine unrelated permissions under one opaque credential, log secrets, infer write access from successful authentication or retry non-idempotent external actions blindly.
How AYSA handles this
Signals reviewed
connector type, credential status, supported operation, target scope, last response, revocation state
Problem AYSA can identify
AYSA can classify a task as blocked when the active connector lacks the required object scope, operation or healthy authorization.
Recommendation prepared
The workflow requests only the capability needed for the declared action and keeps unsupported operations visible as manual work.
Approval preview
Users see the external system, target scope, available read or write operations and revocation implications before enabling execution.
Execution
AYSA can call only operations implemented by the active connector and separately authorized for the approved target.
Verification
AYSA records the connector response and checks accessible destination evidence rather than treating authentication success as task completion.
Limits
A connector cannot create business authority, extend its own scope, guarantee external availability or make every request reversible.

Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Is an integration connector the same as a website connection?
No. The connection represents the property relationship; the connector implements specific read or action capabilities for that relationship.
Should one connector credential be reused across every website?
No. Per-integration, revocable credentials and least-privilege identities reduce scope and simplify rotation or incident response.
