# Set Up the Demo Connector

Set up the demo connector to send inbound messages from the customer to the rep. The demo connector constructs the Interaction Service request payloads and sends the request to the Interaction Service. Subscribe to the custom platform event that the demo connector uses to receive outbound messages from the rep in Salesforce and forward those messages to the customer. For outbound integrations, see the [Pub/Sub API Developer Guide](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/pub-sub-api/guide/intro.html) for information about subscribing to custom platform events. See our [outbound events reference](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/service/messaging-partner/guide/docs/service/messaging-partner/references/outbound-event-reference/outbound-event-reference.html) for information about important events to consume.

To create and configure the demo connector implementation, use the sample implementation in GitHub: [https://github.com/salesforce-misc/byo-demo-connector](https://github.com/salesforce-misc/byo-demo-connector).

**tip:** The demo connector is intended as a reference example only. You must create your own connector for your integration before packaging it.
