A practical example
Example: a marketing ops team picks an iPaaS partly because its HubSpot connector supports custom objects and bulk reads, not just basic contact writes.
What to evaluate before investing
- List your critical apps and verify each has a native connector, not a generic workaround.
- Compare which operations each connector supports: reads, writes, deletes, custom objects, and bulk handling.
- Ask who maintains the connector and how quickly updates follow changes in the target app's API.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Connector coverage varies widely between platforms, and an app listed as supported may still lack the specific objects or operations your workflows require.
