What is the Workato SDK Quickstart skill?

It is a specialized guide for Claude Code that helps developers build, test, and share custom Workato connectors using the Ruby-based SDK.

Does this skill provide authentication templates?

Yes, it includes boilerplate code for common authentication methods like API Keys and Bearer tokens within the connection block.

What are the requirements to use this skill?

You should have a Workato account with SDK access, basic knowledge of Ruby, and the API documentation for the service you intend to connect.

Can I use this for local development?

Yes, the skill includes instructions for setting up the workato-connector-sdk gem and using the CLI for local testing and execution.

How do I debug my Workato connector with this skill?

The skill provides patterns for using workato.log, handling API error codes (like 4xx errors), and using the Workato CLI debugger.

API Development

Guides developers through building, testing, and deploying custom connectors using the Workato Ruby-based SDK.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for developers to create Workato custom connectors, allowing for deep integration with any API not natively supported by the platform. It offers standardized code patterns for authentication, actions, and triggers, alongside guidance for local development using the Workato CLI. By providing boilerplate structures and debugging best practices, it simplifies the complexity of connector development and ensures high-quality, maintainable integration code.

Key Features

Implementation patterns for API authentication and base URI logic
Version control best practices for connector lifecycle management
Local development workflows using the Workato SDK gem and CLI
Bootstrap minimal connector code for rapid prototyping
Standardized error handling and response parsing logic
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Setting up a local Ruby environment to test connectors outside the Workato UI
Refactoring existing connectors to include robust error handling and logging
Building a custom connector for a proprietary or niche SaaS API
