# Marketplace connectors

## Introduction

The **connectors** page allows you to browse, [install](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-connectors/installing-a-connector.md) and [update](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-connectors/updating-a-connector.md) all prebuilt connectors - these are 'standard' connectors that Patchworks builds and maintains.

When you install a connector, it is added to [your connectors list](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-connectors/accessing-your-connectors.md) - from here you can [add instances](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-instances/adding-an-instance.md) (authenticated with your credentials for that system) and then start working with these as [process flow connections](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-shapes/standard-shapes/connector-shape.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need to connect a system which does not exist in the marketplace and you have an understanding of APIs and data structures, you can build your own connector with our [connector builder](/product-documentation/developer-hub/connector-builder.md) (perhaps starting from a [Postman import](/product-documentation/developer-hub/openapi-and-postman-importer.md) if a Postman collection is available).
{% endhint %}

## Browsing connectors

Having selected the **connectors** option from the marketplace, you can browse and [install](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-connectors/installing-a-connector.md) prebuilt connectors:

Connectors are displayed as tiles over a series of pages, which you can step through using page numbers at the bottom of the marketplace. Each connector includes general details and an [install](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-connectors/installing-a-connector.md) option:
