Connect an account

An account is the login a flow uses to act in another system. Authorize it once, and every flow can use it.

Add an account

  1. Open Accounts in the left menu.
  2. Add an account and pick the service, like Google, Salesforce or OpenAI.
  3. Sign in to that service in the window that opens and approve the access.
  4. The account appears in the list. Use the test button to confirm the connection works.

You can also connect an account right from a step, with the Connect Account button.

Some connectors, like GitHub, ask for your own OAuth app first. See Custom OAuth app.

The Google “app not verified” warning

When you connect a Google account, Google still shows a warning that the app is not verified. It is not an error. The Edge Connect domain changed, and the verification is pending. To continue, click Advanced, then Continue. The account connects normally.

What the list shows

  • Name: the email or the key of the account.
  • Service: the system it belongs to.
  • Usage: how many flows use it.
  • Status: whether the connection has been tested. Test all tests every account at once.

Use group accounts, never personal ones. For example support@ or sales@. If the owner of a personal account leaves and the address is deactivated, every flow using it breaks, and you have to change them one by one.

Accounts are shared across your org. Everyone on your team uses the same accounts. Different companies never share accounts.

Next

With an account connected, create your first flow.
