When a source system has an API but no connector in Vern’s library, a source builder makes one. Point it at the API’s docs and an agent works out how to sign in, which objects to pull and how to page through them — then you add the finished connector to your sources. Building a source is Admin-only. You can also ask Home to build one for you.

​
Build one

1

Start

Go to Sources, click Source builders, then Build a source. Under Search for the API, enter a docs or OpenAPI URL, or just an API name (e.g. Chargebee).
2

Let the agent build it

The agent reads the API, picks the endpoints, and writes the connector. It may stop to ask you to choose between options — answer and it continues. Request a change at any time, for example “Add the invoices stream” or “Only pull active customers”, and Stop it if it’s heading the wrong way.
3

Verify (optional)

Click Verify connector and enter a real account’s credentials. The agent dry-runs every stream until each one passes, then publishes the verified version. You can skip this — the connector is published Unverified and you enter credentials when you start a migration.
4

Add to sources

Click Add to sources. The source now appears with an API badge, and imports for companies on it can use Extract via source name.
APIs that only support interactive OAuth sign-in aren’t supported yet; the agent tells you if it finds one. Credentials are never typed into the chat. They’re entered on the build’s own page and stored write-only.
