What is a Connector
A connector is a secure link between Rival and one of your systems — Slack, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and more. Connectors are how agents and workflows read from, and act inside, the tools your team already uses.
Everything an agent touches in your systems, it touches through a connector. That makes connectors the security boundary of the whole platform: control the connectors, and you control what your AI can reach.
Why it matters in the enterprise
Section titled “Why it matters in the enterprise”Admins decide which connectors are approved, how they authenticate, and which agents and users can use each one. Nothing acts on your data without going through a door you approved.
A quick example
Section titled “A quick example”Your organization connects Salesforce once, at the admin level. From then on, approved agents can read opportunity data to draft summaries — but no agent can reach Salesforce unless an admin has granted it that connector. One connection, governed centrally, reused safely.
