Connectors

What are connectors

Connectors allow you to integrate Codeyst with third-party services and platforms, extending your project's capabilities beyond the built-in features.

By connecting external services, you can push your code to GitHub for version control, deploy directly to hosting platforms like Vercel, and sync your work across different tools.

Each connector is configured independently - you control which services to connect, when to sync data, and can disconnect at any time without losing your project.

All connectors are optional. You can download your project code directly and use it however you want, or connect services to streamline your workflow and enable collaboration.

Managing connectors

All your connected services are managed from the Connectors section in your account settings. This central hub shows which services are connected and their current status.

You can disconnect any service at any time. Disconnecting revokes access permissions but doesn't delete any data that was previously synced to the external service.

Reconnecting a previously disconnected service restores the integration without data loss. Your existing repositories, deployments, and configurations remain intact.

Each project can have its own connector settings, or you can use account-level connections that apply across multiple projects for easier management.

GitHub connector

Connect your GitHub account to enable version control and code collaboration. This integration allows you to export your project code to GitHub repositories.

When you export a project to GitHub, a new repository is created each time. Enter your desired repository name, and the system will push all your project files to a freshly created repository.

Each export creates a new commit in the repository with your latest changes. Commit messages are generated automatically, and you can view the full commit history directly on GitHub.

If you unlink the GitHub integration, it only disconnects the service from your account - it does not delete any repositories that were previously created. Your code remains safe on GitHub.

Vercel connector

Connect Vercel to deploy your projects directly to production with automatic builds and global CDN distribution. Perfect for getting your app live quickly.

After connecting your Vercel account, click the Publish button in your project to deploy. Your project is built and deployed automatically to a live URL that you can share.

You can pass environment variables with each deployment - either during your first publish or when redeploying. Environment variables can be added, updated, or removed directly through the Publish dialog.

Manage your deployment settings, add custom domains, and configure advanced options directly from the Vercel dashboard.
