Connectors are the conduit between Fusion and your external data sources. Connectors retrieve your data and import it into Fusion. To ensure compatibility between the connector and your Fusion version, please refer to the Fusion compatibility declaration located at the beginning of each connector configuration reference article. For example: Fusion Connector compatibility details
