Connect an app account

Add an OAuth or credential-based app connection for workflows and agents.

Use this guide when a workflow step, agent tool, or template asks for an app connection. You connect from the Apps page, then select that connection where the workflow or agent needs it.

Connect your account

  1. Open Apps

    Go to Apps under Connect.

  2. Find the app

    Use Search apps... or browse Connect Your Accounts. Apps show whether they are already connected or ready to connect.

    Search for the app, then open its connection list from the app card.
  3. Open Your Connections

    Click the app. Automate opens Your Connections for that app.

  4. Add a new connection

    Click Add New Connection.

  5. Name the connection

    Fill Connection Name. Choose a name that tells teammates what account this is, such as Marketing HubSpot or Support Gmail.

  6. Create and authorise

    Click Create. For OAuth apps, a sign-in or authorisation window opens. Complete the external sign-in, then return to Automate.

    Name the connection clearly before OAuth apps open their authorisation window.
  7. Done

    When Automate shows the connection was created, click Done.

Use the connection

After you connect the app:

PlaceWhat to do
Workflow stepOpen the node and select the app connection in Connection
Agent toolOpen the agent, go to Configure → Tools, and choose the relevant account if the tool asks
Imported workflowOpen each warning node and select or create a connection

Rename and disconnect

Open the app's Your Connections list to manage existing personal connections. If you delete or disconnect an account, workflows and agents that used it can fail until they are updated.

Empty app list

If the Apps page shows No Apps Available, your workspace may not have app access configured. Ask an administrator to enable apps or grant access.
