Source flows are the simplest way to use hotglue, and the default flow type. With a source flow, your customer connects the source or tap, and you read data in from those linked sources into your own default target. Source flows utilize the V1 API

​
Examples

Common uses of Source flows include:
  • Reading data from your tenants’ CRM and writing to your own database
  • Checking for accounting data updates in your tenants’ ERP, and writing the updates to your system via a webhook

​
Allowing your tenants to fork a target

In Source flows, data will default to being written to the target linked by the default tenant. However, your tenants may want to write their data to their own accounts. You have a tenant fork their own linked target by:
  • Using the linked target endpoint
  • Passing the isTarget option when linking via the widget
  • Manually creating the linked target in the hotglue admin dashboard
