Connecting your custom connector in Weld

✅ What you’ll learn in this module:

• How to register your custom connector in Weld
• How to use the public URL and token
• How to test the connection and select tables

🔗 Step-by-step: Add your connector in Weld

1. Log in to Weld

Go to weld.app and log into your workspace.

2. Go to Sources → Add Source

1. Click “Add Source”
2. Select “Custom Connector” from the list

3. Enter connector details

• Name: Give it something descriptive like Typeform (Custom)
• URL: Paste the public Google Cloud Function URL
• Token: Enter the same token you defined in your environment variable (WELD_AUTH_TOKEN)
• Deduplication: Enable this if your API tends to return duplicates

4. Test the connection

Weld will automatically call:

• /schema → to fetch available tables and fields
• / → to fetch the first page of data for each table

If the test passes ✅, you’ll see a list of available tables.

5. Choose sync frequency and warehouse destination

• Select how often you want the data to sync (e.g. every 6 hours)
• Choose your destination schema (e.g. custom_data.typeform)

6. Start the sync

Click “Create Sync” — and your first sync will begin! You can monitor its progress in Weld’s activity view.

🧪 What happens next?

Weld now:

• Calls your API on schedule
• Loads the data into your warehouse
• Tracks lineage and errors
• Alerts you if something breaks

You can view your connector and manage settings from the Sources page at any time.
