* To sync data using self-managed connectors, you need to deploy the {enterprise-search-ref}/build-connector.html[Elastic connector service] on your own infrastructure. This service runs automatically on Elastic Cloud for native connectors.
* The `connector_id` parameter should reference an existing connector.
