Connections

A Connection in Quiltt serves as the primary way to ingest and sync financial data associated with one of your Profiles. Connections are typically created from a data source like Plaid or MX, and provide access to account information, transactions and other data, depending on the provider and Connection configuration.

After a Connection is created, Quiltt will automatically ingest permissioned data, keep it in sync, and make its data available via the GraphQL API.

Metadata

Like many other resources, connections support persisting arbitrary information via a `metadata` object. This can be used to store nicknames, custom timestamps, status indicators and other data that may be useful to retrieve later. See the API Reference or the Custom Metadata guide for more information.

Connection queries allow you to fetch data about a specific Connection or a list of Connections associated with the Profile.

Link to this section#Mutations

Connection mutations allow you to disconnect or update individual Connections.

Link to this section#The connectionDisconnect Mutation

Disconnect a Connection from its provider, preventing Quiltt from syncing data:

mutation ConnectionDisconnect {
  connectionDisconnect(input: { id: "conn_12tgD1WgzFgsy9fqKpW9b3" }) {
    success
    record {
      id
    }
  }
}

Link to this section#Response

{
  "data": {
    "connectionDisconnect": {
      "success": true,
      "record": {
        "id": "conn_12tgD1WgzFgsy9fqKpW9b3"
      }
    }
  }
}

Link to this section#The connectionUpdate Mutation

Updates a Connection with new metadata. This is useful for storing additional information about the Connection, such as a user-friendly name, or an internal ID.

mutation ConnectionUpdate {
  connectionUpdate(
    input: {
      id: "conn_12tgD1WgzFgsy9fqKpW9b3"
      metadata: { nickname: "My Special Connection", hiddenFromUI: "true", internal_id: "12345" }
    }
  ) {
    success
    record {
      id
      metadata
    }
  }
}
