Advantages
The most meaningful advantages of our Integration Hub in relation to your business include:
- Interoperability: Cleverbridge's Integration Hub offers connectors that blend the power of an enterprise-grade workflow automation platform with the intuitive design of consumer applications. This combination empowers both technical and non-technical teams to create, test, and deploy robust integrations. With these tools, partnership teams can quickly build reliable solutions, accelerating time-to-market and enhancing collaboration across departments. The Integration Hub's streamlined experience ensures that all teams, regardless of technical expertise, can contribute to delivering high-quality integrations that drive value for your business.
- Extensibility: Cleverbridge's Integration Hub is highly adaptable, allowing for the addition of new applications beyond the extensive selection of pre-built connectors. Our REST data connector facilitates no-code integration with a vast array of systems, streamlining expansion without complex coding. For deeper customization, existing connectors can be extended by incorporating additional functions from the REST connector, providing teams with flexible integration options. Furthermore, a public API enables control over recipes from third-party applications that lack dedicated connectors, allowing for seamless workflow automation.
This extensibility ensures that as your business grows, our Integration Hub can grow with it, supporting evolving requirements and maximizing the potential of your tech stack across all platforms.
Terminology
It's important to know the terminology used within our Integration Hub:
- Recipe is an automated workflow consisting of a series of steps that connect your business applications. It includes a trigger and one or more actions. When activated, a recipe runs automatically in the background, monitoring for trigger events and executing the corresponding actions.
- Connection is a secure way to give access to business applications that you authenticated for use.
- Project works like a repository for your integration assets (recipes, connections, and sub-folders). It should be organized by use case, department, application, or process. Only administrators can manage permissions for creating, editing, viewing, and deleting projects.

Integrations
Important
Currently, the integrations are managed by Cleverbridge and you can only view connections, recipes, and the data around it. To configure the integrations, contact Client Experience.
Within the Integrations part of our Integration Hub, you have to authenticate your connections, meaning the systems your business is connected to. Those systems are visible under Projects.
Create a connection
To create a new connection:
- Go to Connections > Connected
- Click Create > Connection.
- From the list of applications, choose the one you want to integrate your system with.
Salesforce Integration
For Salesforce, you need to configure two connections:
- Cleverbridge connection – create an API user in Commerce Assistant and authenticate this user under the Cleverbridge connector.
- Salesforce connection – create an API user in Salesforce and, then, allow Workato access the Salesforce instance. For information on how to create a Salesforce connector, see How to Connect to Salesforce on Workato.
