Number of connections/accounts per connector?

Question

Does anyone know how many parallel connections can be created per connector? Some connectors like SFTP support creating multiple accounts, but is that true for all? I couldn't find any documentation around how many connections/accounts I can setup per connector. Also, I cannot create a connector until I have established one valid connection.
 
Need this info to know pros & cons for some of the OOB connectors.
 
I am interested for the following types of connectors (if not all):
- Social - facebook, twitter & linkedin
- Email Marketing - sendgrid, eloqua, adobe campaign
 
Thanks,
Chetanya

Hello @chetanyajain-1

Since all these are external services but not controlled by Adobe, their guardrails or limitation will not be available in AEP documentation. Because they can be changed by the sources/destinations anytime.

So the best way to check these guardrails would be to look at the API of these platforms.

You can start looking at them here:

Facebook: Customer File Custom Audiences - Marketing API (facebook.com)

Twitter: Audience API Integration | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform

LinkedIn: LinkedIn API Rate Limiting - LinkedIn | Microsoft Learn

SendGrid: Rate Limits | Twilio (sendgrid.com)

Eloqua: Bulk API limits (oracle.com)

Social: Across Fb, Google and an Affiliate we have multiple connectors using same oauth connection
