What is Celigo | Vincent Clouds
The Complete Guide
Celigo is a company on a mission to ‘enable independent best-of-breed applications to work
together as one.’ Pretty straight-forward, but I’ll reiterate just the same. Celigo is a company
dedicated to the integration of your favorite SaaS applications.
So far, Celigo is doing an excellent job at achieving its mission. They started off in 2010,
and since then have done nothing but grow and add to its value offering. Celigo started to
achieve its mission with a single, well-designed connector application for the NetSuite platform.
In 2023, it has a full integration platform with tiers of integration solutions and extended
utility with the most popular enterprise apps.
By now, Celigo has a lot to offer, and any company with SaaS integration plans in their future
should do some homework on them.

Celigo Integration Solutions
Celigo’s single connector has grown into a multitude of integration options that scale up and down
on a “freemium” scale. Celigo offers two main types of solutions; a “Smart Connector” or access to a
complete IPaaS platform.
Celigo Smart Connectors
This is how it all started for Celigo, a single, pre-built solution that connected two SaaS applications. For businesses looking to connect two popular SaaS applications, a Celigo “Smart Connector” can be a solid investment. With popular smart connectors, most of the use-cases have solved, and set-up is nothing more than a series of wizards. You can have a robust integration set-up and tested in days as opposed to weeks or months.
Another benefit of going with a Celigo smart connector over a custom application is the suite of management tools offered to you by Celigo. These tools allow you to keep your integration running smooth and makes minor edits much easier in the future. Scaling is also easier on the Celigo platform as you can add flows with a few more clicks.
Celigo has come a long way since a single smart connector, they now have over 20 out-of-the-box integration applications ready to go.
Celigo Integrator.io IPaaS
In 2016, Celigo launched an IPaaS, Integrator IO. The platform is suited for anyone who needs to connect applications that aren’t mainstream enough to have a smart connector built already. Celigo’s IPaaS gives users the management, security, and best-practices framework of their “smart connectors.” In fact all of Celigo’s smart connectors are now built on top of their IPaaS. So you never feel like you’re starting from scratch, regardless of the applications you’re trying to integrate.
Celigo.io currently comes in 4 editions:
Standard: A good way to get started with the Celigo platform. The Standard Edition comes with 3 Endpoints and 16 flows, Essential Support, and API Management.
Professional: For businesses that are starting to embrace digital transformation in a big way. The Professional Edition comes with 5 Endpoints, 100 Flows, Preferred Support Plan, API management, and a Sandbox account included.
Premium: For businesses that have fully embraced digital transformation. The Premium Edition comes with 10 Endpoints, unlimited flows, Premier Support, API management, a Sandbox, SSO support, and an external FTP site.
Enterprise: For large businesses who want to integrate every department and process. The Enterprise Edition comes with 20 Endpoints, unlimited flows, Premier Support, API management, a Sandbox, SSO support, and 2 external FTP sites.
Celigo IO Marketplace
Possibly the best feature of the Celigo IO platform is the “marketplace.” This is where Celigo allows third-party developers to create smart connectors, templates, and app assistants using Celigo’s framework, and then publish those apps for others users to use.
Templates are pre-built integration flows that usually solve a common and relatively simple business use-case. Depending on the app you’re trying to connect, there could be one or many templates available to jump-start your integration project.
The marketplace is a great way for business processes/use-cases with shifting popularity to get solved without Celigo having to do all the thinking. They simply provide the framework and let the market take care of itself.
- Resellers: Resellers are companies that purchase Celigo products and services from Celigo and then resell them to their own customers.
- Consultants: Consultants are companies that provide consulting and advisory services to help businesses implement and use Celigo products and services.
- Systems integrators: Systems integrators are companies that specialize in integrating different systems and technologies, and may work with Celigo products and services to help their clients connect and automate their business processes.
- Technology partners: Technology partners are companies that have developed a technology integration or integration app that works with Celigo products and services.
- OEM partners: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) partners are companies that integrate Celigo products and services into their own products or services, and then resell them to their customers.
