Connections are typically created through the iframe UI, where users can: - Provide username/password credentials - Complete OAuth flows - Configure additional connection parameters Connection lifecycle: 1. Create connection via iframe (provides OAuth or credential input) 2. Validate connection status 3. Use connection to create extracts 4. Monitor connection health and refresh tokens as needed
