The connectRemoteTableConfig() GraphQL mutation is used to add a remote table configuration to a specified view.

Related to this is the getConnectedRemoteTableConfigsInView() query field. To remove a connection, use the disconnectRemoteTableConfig() mutation field.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the connectRemoteTableConfig() mutation field:

graphql
connectRemoteTableConfig(
     input: ConnectRemoteTableConfigInput!
   ): RemoteTableConfig!

For the input, you'd enter the name of the view and connection related to the remote table. In return, you can get the configuration parameters and URL — by drilling down in the mutation parmaters.
