Connect an account

Credentials let workflows, agents, and Chat act in the services you connect.

Connect

  1. Open Credentials.
  2. Choose the service.
  3. Finish the sign-in the screen starts.

The services on the screen are LinkedIn, LinkedIn Advanced, Apollo, Google My Business, Google Search Console, Google Workspace, YouTube, Discord, and Microsoft 365.

LinkedIn Advanced and Apollo

LinkedIn Advanced asks you to confirm a monthly base cost before it connects, then may ask for an in-app approval or a code from email. Apollo asks you to confirm its monthly base cost. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace explain on the screen when an administrator has to approve the connection.

Code in a workflow reads these connections from orbi. You do not paste the password into the node.

Access Credentials in Workflows

All the credentials of an Orbitype workspace can be accessed in workflows. There, you can use the credentials to authenticate with the API, third-party APIs, and also utilize them as central variables for your workspace.

Credentials

async ({credentials}) => {
  return {output: credentials.myCredentialName}
}

Orbi Object

async ({ orbi, linkedin }) => {
  const id = orbi.project.credentials.find((x) => x.name === "linkedin").value
}

OAuth Integrations

OAuth is often a necessary security step for accessing resources securely, but it can also be challenging to implement due to its complexity. To ease the integration process, especially with services that require authentication through their specific OAuth flows, Orbitype simplifies this by abstracting these complexities. Orbitype securely manages your tokens, keeping them active so you can use them as easily as any other credential in your workspace. This eliminates the need for repeatedly handling the intricate details involved in OAuth authentication, You sign in once.

By centralizing token management, Orbitype enhances efficiency and ensures compatibility with a growing library of supported integrations. Below is a list of currently supported services, as well as upcoming services planned for integration, giving you a clear picture of the platform's capabilities and future roadmap.

Use the token in a node

After the sign-in finishes, the token is on orbi.project.credentials. Match oauth.provider. Google Workspace is also named gws, which the Gmail, Calendar, and Drive tools expect. LinkedIn on this screen posts to your own feed. Inbox and search need LinkedIn Advanced. The runtime page Call a connected account has the provider strings and a working node.

If this fails: The connection does not finish

  • LinkedIn Advanced asks you to confirm the monthly cost, then may ask for an in-app approval or a code from email. The credential stays incomplete until that step finishes.
  • Apollo asks you to confirm its monthly cost before the token exists.
  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace can stop until an administrator approves the app. The screen explains that step.
  • Code that cannot find the credential is reading the wrong name. Use the name shown on the credential row.
