Vercel Connect now accepts service submissions
By Steven Van ·
Service owners can list their own connector after a Vercel review, with OAuth methods verified through a real token test before submission.
Service owners can now submit their own service to the Vercel Connect connectors directory, instead of waiting for Vercel to build a connector for it. The documentation for service providers sets out what a service needs to support.
Submitting takes four steps:
- Describe the service.
- Add one or more connection methods, using OAuth or an API key.
- Verify each OAuth method by requesting a real token through a test connector.
- Send the submission for review.
Vercel reviews each submission before publishing it to the directory. Submissions start from Submit a Service in the dashboard, which is also linked from a team's Connect Browse Connectors page. Submitting requires permission to create connectors in the team.
The documentation says a service needs to publish OAuth discovery documents, declare its grant types, accept the redirect URL https://connect.vercel.com/callback and return expires_in in token responses. Supporting dynamic client registration or client ID metadata documents is recommended, since it lets Vercel Connect create the OAuth client for users.
