# Connectors: Bringing Source Systems into the Spine Fabric

> Connectors bring source-system data, events, and write-back into Spine Fabric, feeding unified business context to every workbench, view, and agent.

Connectors are how source systems join SpineWorkspace. Each connector reads and writes to a specific tool (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Stripe, Google Workspace, Slack, and others) and maps its data into the shared Spine Fabric model.

  <Step title="Maps to the Spine Fabric model">
