Connection Canvas

Overview

A Connection Canvas is a workspace where you create and manage your connections. Think of it like a taskboard for integrations — each connection appears as a card you can click to configure.

Creating a Canvas

1. Open a workspace in Commander
2. Click Connections in the sidebar, or use the "+" menu
3. Give your canvas a name (e.g., "Marketing Integrations" or "Website Analytics")
4. Your canvas is ready — start adding connections

Adding Connections

1. Click the "+" button on your canvas
2. A sidebar opens — name your connection
3. Choose a connection type:
   • Signal — Website analytics tracking
   • Webhook — Receive events from external services
   • API — Sync data using an API key
   • MCP — Connect AI Chat to external MCP servers
4. Configure the connection (each type has different settings)

Managing Connections

Click a connection card to:

• View its Overview — status, configuration, recent events
• Check the Event Log — all events received by this connection
• Edit Field Mapping — how incoming data maps to your workspace
• Open Settings — rename, pause, or delete

Connection Status

Status	Meaning
