Plugins
Plugins add functionality to an Informer server, such as connecting to Salesforce. They are downloaded from Entrinsik's repository and configured on the server hosting your Informer deployment.
Check compatibility first
Before installing any plugin, contact Support at i5support@entrinsik.com to verify compatibility with your target Informer version.
