Connector Node

The Connector node is a tool for integrating with external services. This enables AI integration with other applications and services via MCP.

This tutorial introduces a “workflow that generates a recruitment blog from provided data and outputs it to Google Docs.”

Integration Setup

Click “Connect” at the top of the menu screen and install the connector for the external service you want to use. For this tutorial, we’ll use the Google Docs connector.

Once installation is complete, click the Google Docs connector and link it with your Google account.

Creating the App

First, create a new workflow in Studio.

Add an LLM node and copy and paste the following prompt:

Write a company introduction blog for job seekers.

## Format

Troubleshooting

Authentication Expiration Error

With some connectors, authentication may expire after a certain period from initial authentication. In that case, when running the workflow, the following error will be displayed:

Failed to initialize graph: Your credential not found. Please authenticate: コネクタ名

To resolve this, re-authenticate by following these steps:

1. Click “Connect” at the top of the menu screen.
2. Click the connector you’re using.
3. Click the “Re-authenticate” button and authenticate again.
