Auth Link
Auth Link lets you send users directly to an authentication flow for a specific connector, bypassing the In-App Marketplace entirely. This is useful for:
- OAuth integrations: Users authenticate directly with a third-party service
- Credential-based connections: Users enter their credentials without sharing them with you
- Streamlined onboarding: Skip the marketplace when you already know which integration a user needs
Requirements
- A Tenant must be created for the user
Note: Auth Link does not require the In-App Marketplace to be set up.
How to Generate an Auth Link
Step 1: Create or find the tenant
Go to the Tenants resource in the left menu bar.
If you haven't already, create a Tenant for your customer.
Step 2: Open the connector
Click on the tenant to view its details. Under the connector you want the user to authenticate, click Connect (or Reconnect if previously connected).
Step 3: Generate the Auth Link
In the popup window, click Generate Customer Link.
Copy the link to share with your user.
Step 4: User authenticates
Send the link to your user. They will be taken directly to the authentication process—either an OAuth flow or a credential entry form, depending on the connector.
Step 5: Verify connection
Once the user completes authentication, their connector status will show a green check on the Tenant Details page.
Auth Link vs Live Link
| Feature | Auth Link | Live Link |
|---|---|---|
| Requires marketplace | No | Yes |
| User sees marketplace UI | No | Yes |
| Requires tenant to be created first | Yes | No |
| Scope | Single connector | Entire integration |
If you want users to go through the standard marketplace experience, use Live Link instead.
Auth-Only Connections
If you're building a custom marketplace using Pandium's Auth Dialog process, authentication can be defined directly within the JWT. See Embedding Auth-Only Connections for details.
