Glossary: ConnectionGlossary

A connection represents a specific authentication of an integration.

In Unified.to, a connection represents the permission granted by an end user for an application to access their account on an integration via Unified.to’s unified API. End users grant this permission by clicking on the integration’s icon in the Embedded Authorization component and confirming that they would like to grant the application access to their account on that integration — usually by entering their credentials. Once the end user does that, they are returned to the application, and a connection representing the user’s permission is created within Unified.to.

You can see a list of all your end users’ connections by selecting Integrations → User Connections in the Unified.to dashboard.
