What connector for what use?

Wemap has the capability to retrieve content from a large number of data sources via applications: private connectors or public connectors (or data formats).

Public connectors:

These are connectors linked to databases accessible via a subscription in your license according to your needs.

Ex: Google Spreadsheet, Apidae (tourist data), OpenAgenda,...

Private connectors (custom):

We can also create a custom connector to retrieve your content from your own data source. This requires specific development, accessible only by yourself.

Ex: the venue database for the Ministry of Culture.

💡Good to know:

Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and RSS connectors are included free of charge in your license.

Discover our connectors, their specificities and how they work:

	Connected spreadsheets from the Google or Microsoft suite The online spreadsheet is the simplest solution for collecting data and making it evolve. Indeed, you have complete control over the structure of your content. Each row in your file corresponds to a point on your map, and each column has a content type to associate with it: image, redirect link, description,... You can thus easily manage the information you wish to share. The big +? Thanks to the synchronization between your spreadsheet and Wemap: additions, modifications and deletions made in the file are automatically reflected on your map. Benefit from a map updated in real time. To go further: your Excel and Sharepoint environments have a sharing system reserved for your collaborators, on our side no worries, Wemap offers you a connection using credentials.

	Sharepoint Connector To go further: Your Excel and Sharepoint environments have a sharing system reserved for your collaborators, on our side no worries, Wemap offers you a connection using credentials.
	JSON Connector This is not a database but a file format. It allows you to retrieve data from a large number of platforms, including open access data made available by local authorities (government, regions...). To learn more, consult our JSON connection tutorials: 👉 Create a map from OpenDataSoft, open access databases.
	The Jotform connector Jotform is an online form tool that allows you to collect data from project holders and thus easily create contributive maps. Why we chose Jotform among all online form tools: a simple and powerful tool, 100% customizable photo hosting on their platform simplifies the connection with Wemap without creating an account, the contributor can easily fill out the form and modify the information provided whenever they wish via an edit link automatically provided a direct link between Jotform and Wemap is made via an API and thus facilitates the synchronization of contributions on your Wemap map To go further: 👉 Create a map from the Jotform connector 👉 Watch the Jotform webinar replay
	Open Agenda is an online calendar system. Ideal for creating event maps. 👉 Create a list from this connector
	Apidae is a tourist database populated by stakeholders from 3 regions (Auvergne-Rhône Alpes, PACA and Île de France).
	Inwink Connector Inwink is a platform that helps you manage and animate all your events. By combining our know-how, we allow you to inject your content from Inwink directly onto the indoor map of your event on the one hand, and on the other hand generate redirection from Inwink to your Wemap map to highlight each of your speakers and/or collaborators.
