Introduction
Incoming configurations define how data should be retrieved from an (external) source. Examples of such sources are (s)FTP directories, REST APIs, and databases. Incoming configurations can be reused for multiple integrations. To do so, you can select the same incoming configuration within multiple route configurations. Data will only be retrieved once and duplicated for each route configuration.
Incoming configurations can be created and maintained by navigating to Connections -> Incoming.

- Disabled - A flag that indicates whether the incoming configuration is disabled. Disabled incoming configurations do not retrieve new data.
- Subscriber - The subscriber is the technical component performing the communication with the (external) source.
