Each mode's rules are checked: page numbers for pageIndex, your own designs for designSelector, hex colours for underlayColor. Try it first with `POST /v2/connectors/test`, then attach it with `POST /v2/designs/{id}/connectors`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml openapi.json POST /v2/connectors openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Print.App API version: 2.1.0 description: >- Server-to-server API for Print.App integrations: designs and their page content, folders, files, fonts, palettes, product assignments, projects and editor links.

The other pages are set aside: not shown, printed or saved. - `designSelector`: Opens another design for each choice (`to`: a design id). Every design it can open must be assigned to the product and carry this connector too. - `pageClone`: Repeats one page (`page`, default the first) as many times as the number chosen, when the editor opens. - `pageCount`: Sends the number of pages to the field as the customer adds or removes pages (editor to product page). - `printedPageCount`: Sends the number of pages (sides) that carry a print to the field, so the price can follow (editor to product page). The field takes a number. - `pageWidth`: Sets the page width from a number field, in the design's unit (a Print Options size field carries its own). With twoWay, a resize in the editor is sent back. - `pageHeight`: Sets the page height from a number field, in the design's unit (a Print Options size field carries its own). With twoWay, a resize in the editor is sent back. - `pageOrientation`: Turns the pages (or `page` alone) landscape or portrait, from the choice's wording or its mapping (`to`: landscape or portrait). - `textValue`: Puts what the customer types into the text item titled `text`. With twoWay, edits in the editor are sent back. - `underlayColor`: Sets the product colour of an underlay design (a T-shirt, a mug): `to` is a hex colour, or leave the choice unmapped when it is the colour's name in the design. - `event`: Fires an editor event (`event.name`, with `event.data`) when the field changes. For integrations that listen to editor events. source: type: object additionalProperties: false minProperties: 1 description: >- Where on the product page the connector reads (and, for two-way modes, writes): a CSS selector for a control of the store's theme, or a Print Options field by `role` (preferred: one connector then works on every product) or by `field` id. `GET /v2/product-page` lists both for a page. properties: selector: type: string minLength: 1 maxLength: 500 description: >- A CSS selector for the control, as `GET /v2/product-page` gives it: `select[name="options[Size]"]`, or `input[name="Color"]:checked` for a group of radio choices. role: type: string minLength: 1 maxLength: 50 description: >- A Print Options field role: `size`, `pages`, `material`, `orientation`, or the field types `quantity`, `dimensions` and `file`. field: type: string minLength: 1 maxLength: 100 description: A Print Options field id, when the field has no role. axis: type: string enum: - w - h description: >- For a Print Options `dimensions` field: the width (`w`) or the height (`h`). mappings: type: array maxItems: 200 description: >- What each choice on the product page becomes in the editor. `from` is the choice as the page sends it: its value, or for dropdowns and Print Options choices also the text the customer sees (case and surrounding spaces ignored).
