- An implementation of the Platform Event Notifications.
The following diagram depicts how these components interact:
Refer to the Components of a Platform Connector page for a deeper dive into the components and how they fit together.
Example implementation architectures
The Bold platform connector is designed to be flexible, and you can implement it with a variety of platform configurations, such as:
- Traditional platforms.
- Open-source platforms.
- Custom platforms.
Refer to Example Implementation Architectures for more information about each of these integration types.
