This document provides an overview of SAP Open Connectors. Open Connectors allow connectivity to over 150 SaaS solutions through a generic integration framework. It provides a unified experience to create connections to different applications via API. Open Connectors handle authentication and provide reusable integrations that can adapt if application providers change. Formulas can be used to route events and data between connected applications based on simple JavaScript evaluations.
