Integrating different applications into your Keragon workflows is a key step towards efficient automation. This process, known as connecting or authenticating your apps, essentially means giving Keragon permission to access and interact with these third-party applications.
How to authenticate your apps
There are two primary ways to authenticate your apps in Keragon: directly through the "Authentications" tab in your dashboard or within a specific step in the workflow editor.
Authenticating through your "Authentications" tab
Step 1: Accessing the Authentications tab
- Login to Keragon: Start by logging into your Keragon account.
- Navigate to Authentications: Go to the Authentications tab where you can see all the existing authentications (connections) and click the "+ Create new" button on top right corner.
Step 2: Choosing the app to connect
-
Select the App: In the New authentication page, you'll find a list of apps that Keragon supports. Choose the app you want to integrate with your workflow.
- Search functionality: If you have a specific app in mind, use the search bar to find it quickly.
Step 3: Finalizing the Connection
- Choose the Authentication method: Select the desired authentication method from the drop down.
- Provide your credentials: Provide the credentials needed based on the authentication method selected.
- Finalize connection: Click the "Connect" button to establish the connection with the app.
Step 4: Using the connected app in your workflow
- Adding to Workflow: With the app now connected, you can add it as a trigger or action in your workflow.
- Selecting account: Within the app configuration the workflow, you can select the previously created authentication in the "Select account" drop-down.
Authenticating inside your workflow
A similar process as above is followed in order to connect your app while you are inside a workflow.
- Select the App: In your workflow editor, add a new step and choose an app or select an existing step.
- Navigate to Auth tab: In the Auth tab on the right-side drawer click the "Connect new account".
