Should you use individual Connectors or Templates? It depends on the size of your equipment and how many connectors they share with each other.
⚠️ **Important:** Choosing right from the start will save you time when your team grows.
Quick comparison

| Requires Team Manager | ❌ | ✅ (free of charge) |
Decision diagram
- Does your team have more than 5 people?
- No → Individual connectors are probably sufficient
- Yes → Go to question 2
- Do several members share common connectors (same website, catalog, video)?
- No → Use individual connectors
- Yes → Go to question 3
- Do you need to update shared connectors frequently?
- No → Either option works
- Yes → Use Templates
Practical examples
Design agency (3 people): Each has very different connectors → Individual connectors
Commercial team (25 people): All share website, catalog and video → Template
Company with 3 departments (40 people): Each department has its own → connectors. 3 different templates
Mix of profiles: 12 similar commercials + 3 single managers → Template for sales representatives + Individual connectors for managers
Custom fields
You can create custom fields and use them as dynamic tags in your templates. For example: {{address}}, {{central}}, {{geographic_zone}}.
Summary
| Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| 1-5 people, very different profiles | Individual connectors |
| 6+ people, common connectors | Templates |
| Multiple departments | Multiple Templates |
| Mix of similar + unique profiles | Templates + Individual connectors |
💡 **Tip:** You can combine the two. Use Templates for what everyone shares and individual Connectors for what is unique to each person.
