Getting Started with Celigo Integrations

Core Concepts

Celigo integrations move data between external systems through a small set of resource types:

• Connection -- credentials and configuration that authenticate to an external system (Salesforce, NetSuite, HTTP API, database, FTP, etc.)
• Export -- data source step that fetches records from a connected system (or receives them via webhook)
• Import -- data destination step that writes records to a connected system
• Flow -- pipeline that connects exports to imports, with optional branching, transformation, and scripting
• Integration -- named container that groups related flows, connections, and resources
• Script -- JavaScript hook that runs at specific points in the data pipeline (preSavePage, preMap, postMap, postSubmit, postResponseMap)
• API -- custom HTTP endpoint that exposes integration logic for synchronous external consumption
• Tool -- reusable building block (input schema -> routers with lookups/imports -> output contract) callable from flows, APIs, AI agents, MCP servers, and other tools
• AI agent -- LLM-powered pipeline step (stored as an import) that classifies, extracts, summarizes, or generates data mid-pipeline
• Guardrail -- safety/compliance check (PII, moderation, AI evaluation) that flags records; the parent pipeline decides what happens to flagged records
• Lookup cache -- account-level key-value store for fast in-memory reference lookups (cross-reference IDs, large translation tables, dedup markers)
