Blueprints
Introduction
A Patchworks blueprint contains everything you need to perform a specific task - for example, to sync orders between Shopify and Virtualstock Supplier.
When you install a blueprint, all of its components (connectors, process flows, scripts, etc.) are installed and added to the relevant area of your Patchworks dashboard - connectors are added to your connectors page, process flows are added to your process flows list, custom scripts are added to your scripts list, etc.
From here you can complete the required setup (as documented for each blueprint) and get started!

Browsing & purchasing blueprints

Having purchased a blueprint from the Patchworks website, it becomes available in your dashboard marketplace within 24 hours.
Once a blueprint becomes available in your marketplace, you'll see it displayed as a tile which includes a visual summary of component parts - for example:
Here you can see which connectors are included in the blueprint, the blueprint title and creator, and a summary of contents. Summary icons are:
