# Build a new Baton connector

> Use the Baton software development kit to build your own connector if a pre-built cloud connector isn't available.

If you need to connect C1 to a homegrown or backoffice piece of infrastructure, or to software that doesn't yet have a [pre-built connector](https://github.com/conductorone), you can build your own connector with the Baton software development kit (SDK). Once built, these connectors can be integrated directly with C1.

Check out our tutorial video to learn how to build your own Baton connector:

Use the [Baton Starter Pack](https://github.com/conductorone/baton-starter-pack) to quickly set up a formatted GitHub repo for your new Baton connector.

We also suggest reading the [Baton SDK getting started guide](https://www.c1.ai/docs/developer/sdk.md) to learn more about building Baton connectors.
