Replit today announced Connectors a product to ease integration into Vibe coding apps. This was technology based on an acquisition of Open Int Dev
Connectors—a whole new way to build apps and automations that plug directly into the tools you and your team already rely on every day.
Think Google, Dropbox, Salesforce, Linear, Notion, HubSpot, GitHub, Atlassian, Box, and dozens more. Instead of wrangling APIs, credentials, and custom integrations, Connectors make it possible to go from idea → integrated app in minutes.
Why this matters
For too long, connecting to external services has been harder than it should be. Builders and teams had to create developer accounts for each service, manage API keys, wire up integrations, and repeat that painful cycle for every new teammate or app. IT admins hated it, developers dreaded it, and users were stuck waiting.
Connectors change all of that.
Now, you just log in once—and every app you build can instantly use that connection. No credential sprawl. No duplicated work. No friction.
How it works
Each Connector provides the infrastructure you need to build natively with external apps:
✅ One-click connect: log in once, build unlimited apps
✅ Reliable integrations: powered by official SDKs, following platform conventions
✅ Secure by default: no exposed credentials, centralized management
✅ Native experience: every service feels like a natural extension of your app
We’ve already launched 20+ Connectors, with dozens more on the way.
Unlocking new possibilities
This isn’t just about convenience. It’s about unlocking whole new categories of apps:
- 📊 Google: A KPI Analyst that scans Sheets for anomalies and drafts exec summaries
- 🤝 HubSpot: A Pipeline Risk Radar that flags deal slippage and suggests next steps
- 🧑💻 GitHub: A PR Review Assistant that checks for correctness, style, and security
- 📑 Notion: A Meeting Notes-to-Actions app that assigns follow-ups automatically
- 📦 Box: A Contract Renewal Watchdog that alerts you before agreements expire
- 🛠 Atlassian: A Sprint Health Reporter that updates Confluence weekly with Jira data
And that’s just the start.
For enterprises
Admins can finally breathe: centralized management, role-based access, custom OAuth clients, auditability, and governance—all built in. Teams get more freedom, enterprises get more control.
What’s next
Coming soon: database and warehouse connectors, webhook event support for more powerful workflows, and an even deeper admin experience with permissions, assignments, and analytics.
With Connectors, the software you want to build can finally work where you work. No more credential headaches. No more reinventing the wheel. Just log in and start creating.
