Anypoint Connectors (for Mule

3)
Anypoint Connectors are extensions of Mule that let you work with external
systems such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, Twitter, and more to send and
receive information from these systems to create something new.
Anypoint Connectors let you connect Mule applications to APIs and resources. You
can use connectors within your Mule applications to send and receive data over a
protocol, or to and from an API.
You can create applications in Anypoint Studio by installing a connector from
Anypoint Exchange, and then dragging the connector to the Studio canvas.
When you add a connector to the start of a flow, it’s known as a message processor
or "trigger" because it starts the Mule flow by receiving information from the
connector’s resource. For example, when a Salesforce user updates a sales
opportunity, the connector application can receive the information and direct it to a
database or to another connector for processing.
You can also use the HTTP connector as a message processor so that users can
send information to your Studio application using a web browser, Postman, or
the  curl  command.
