Demiton

Connectors Overview

Connectors are the integration layer between Demiton workflows and external systems. Each adapter exposes resources that workflows can FETCH from, PUSH to, LOOKUP against, or EXECUTE operations on.

Connectors are how data gets into Civil Memory. Demiton reads from your systems - it does not replace them - and projects what it reads into the sourced record that Studio and Ask Demiton answer from. The more you connect, the more complete the memory becomes.

Connectors split into two categories based on how they’re accessed and which tier they’re available on:

  • Public data connectors - read-only access to Australian government APIs (AusTender, ABR, BOM, CKAN). No credentials required. Available on every tier - Public tier users have monthly query quotas; Insights tier and above have expanded access.
  • Private system connectors - require credentials and configuration against your own systems (Business Central, Assignar, KeyPay, SharePoint, and others). Available on the Connected tier.

Public data connectors (all tiers)

Section titled “Public data connectors (all tiers)”

No credentials required - these adapters call public Australian government APIs directly. Available on every tier. Public tier includes 10 ad-hoc searches and 3 saved watchlists per month; Insights tier provides expanded query access alongside your uploaded contract data.

AusTenderTender notices, contract awards, and supplier data from the Australian Government's procurement system.
ABRAustralian Business Register - ABN lookup, ACN, GST registration status, entity type.
BOM WeatherBureau of Meteorology observations and forecasts - weather conditions by location.
Open Data (CKAN)Federal and state government data portals - project datasets, spatial data, infrastructure registers.

Private system connectors (Connected)

Section titled “Private system connectors (Connected)”

Require credentials and a one-off configuration step. These connect to your operational and financial systems.

ERPBusiness Central, Finance & Operations - project financials, vendors, purchase orders, GL entries.
OperationalAssignar, Hilti ON!Track, Trimble - allocations, workforce, plant, site forms, timesheets.
Finance & PayrollKeyPay, Xero, Banking (SFTP) - payroll, accounting reports, bank file transfer.
Data SourcesSharePoint, Dropbox, SQL, SFTP, Excel, Dataverse - documents, databases, file systems.
CommunicationsTeams, SMTP, SendGrid, Discord - channel messages, approval cards, email delivery.
IdentityMicrosoft Entra ID - users, groups, group membership, clearance resolution.

How connectors work

Section titled “How connectors work”

Verb model - every resource supports a subset of standard verbs:

Verb What it does
FETCH Retrieve a dataset - paginated, filterable
PUSH Write or update records
LOOKUP Point lookup by key - returns a single record
EXECUTE Trigger an operation (send, delete, create index, etc.)

Resource discovery - when you connect a system, the platform calls discover_resources() on the adapter and stores the capability list in the Resource Registry. A workflow attempting a verb the connector doesn’t support fails at pre-flight, not mid-run.

Simulation mode - every write adapter supports dry-run mode. Simulation runs log what would happen without touching the external system.

To connect your first system, see Connecting a System. If you’re on Insights, see Uploading Your Data instead.
