Credentials
Credentials are secure configurations that store authentication details for connecting your workflows to external services. They allow workflows to interact with third-party applications like Slack, Gmail, and other integrations without exposing sensitive information.
Overview
When building workflows that interact with external services, you need to authenticate with those services. Credentials provide a secure way to:
- Store authentication tokens - OAuth tokens, API keys, and other authentication data are securely stored
- Reuse across workflows - Once configured, credentials can be used across multiple workflows
- Manage access centrally - View and manage all your connected services in one place
- Ensure security - Sensitive data is encrypted and never exposed in workflow definitions
Managing Credentials
To manage your credentials:
- Navigate to the Credentials section in your workspace
- View all connected integrations and their status
- Add new credentials by selecting the integration type
- Update or revoke existing credentials as needed
