Connecting Apps

Set up connections to external services so your automations can interact with them.

Creating a Connection​

From the Connections Page​

  1. Go to Dashboard → Connections
  2. Click + New Connection
  3. Search for the app you want to connect
  4. Follow the authentication flow (OAuth popup, API key form, or basic auth)
  5. Name your connection (e.g., "Company Gmail" or "Production Stripe")
  6. Click Save

From Within a Flow​

  1. While configuring an action step in the builder
  2. Click the Connection dropdown
  3. Click + New Connection
  4. Complete the auth flow
  5. The connection is automatically selected for the current step

Managing Connections​

View All Connections​

Go to Dashboard → Connections to see all your active connections with:

  • App name and icon
  • Connection name
  • Status (Active, Expired, Error)
  • Last used date
  • Number of flows using this connection

Reconnecting​

If a connection expires or encounters an error:

  1. Find the connection in your Connections list
  2. Click Reconnect
  3. Complete the auth flow again
  4. All flows using this connection will automatically use the refreshed credentials

Deleting a Connection​

  1. Find the connection you want to remove
  2. Click the ... menu → Delete
  3. Confirm the deletion
caution

Deleting a connection will break all automations that use it. Make sure to update or deactivate affected flows first.

Connection Security​

  • All credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256
  • Connections are transmitted over TLS 1.3
  • OAuth tokens are automatically refreshed before expiration
  • Connections are scoped to your project — other projects cannot access them
  • Admin users can view and manage all connections; Editors can create new ones; Viewers cannot modify connections

Shared Connections​

On Team and Enterprise plans, connections can be shared across team members:

  • Connections created by any team member are available to all members within the same project
  • The connection creator's credentials are used (not the flow editor's)
  • Admins can revoke any connection
