Integration Connection

Their job is to query or crawl remote systems for files, folders, metadata, versions, and renditions. . In repo mode, it will retrieve list items and all of their relevant metadata from a list or library on the specified site. In output mode, the connection will write content and assign the mapped content type (from type mappings), or simply leave the new list item as a Document.
