   – We can implement robust error-handling mechanisms within custom connectors, including retry logic for transient errors, ensuring the reliability of our integrations.

   – With custom connectors, we can built triggers that map our business needs. Mostly built in connectors have a few triggers that may not be suitable for our needs. So, we need to tailor the connectors to provide our integration what exactly we need.

4.Avoiding external dependency:

   – While using the built in community connectors, We are dependent on the the updates in connectors if there is any change in actions or triggers. When we built own custom connector, we can execute the changes anytime as per changes required.
