GraphQL (Early Access)
The GraphQL connector is a Boomi Technology Connector (built on the Connector SDK) that lets Boomi integration processes talk to any application exposing a GraphQL endpoint — Shopify, GitHub, Salesforce, and similar platforms.

Get Started
Get StartedKey Features
- Single Execute operation — sends an HTTP POST containing the query or mutation text, variable values from the input document, and the operation name, returning the full GraphQL response envelope. The import wizard's Execute Type field (Query or Mutation) determines whether you're working with a Custom GraphQL Query or Custom GraphQL Mutation.
- Schema-driven profile generation — request profiles are built from the variables declared in your operation signature (typed from the schema when introspection is available); response profiles mirror the operation's selection set inside the standard data / errors / extensions envelope.
- Flexible authentication — None (paired with Custom Headers for API-key or static-token APIs), or OAuth 2.0 client credentials, including JWT-based credentials assertion.
How it works
GraphQL is a query language for APIs that, unlike REST, exposes a single endpoint and lets clients request exactly the data they need in one call, using a strongly typed schema. This connector is purpose-built for that model rather than adapting a generic REST or HTTP connector to fit it: it constructs the GraphQL request body directly, always communicates over a single HTTP POST endpoint, and parses the standard { data, errors } response structure defined by the GraphQL specification.
A single connection component can be reused across any number of operations targeting the same GraphQL endpoint. Once connected, the connector queries the API's own schema (via GraphQL introspection) to automatically generate request and response profiles — so users don't need to hand-author profiles or already know the underlying schema to start building.
This connector is particularly relevant for customers migrating off the Shopify REST connector, since Shopify is deprecating its REST APIs in favor of GraphQL, as well as for any customer connecting to modern platforms where GraphQL is the primary or only API option.
