Connect customer accounts

Let customers connect the tools they already use—without handing you their passwords.

Ask a person to approve access to an outside service once, then use that connection in the product experiences and workflows they choose.

Why it matters

“Connect account” should feel like a product feature, not an integration project.

A customer wants to import a file, send an update, or synchronize information with a service they already use. Asking for their password is unsafe; asking them to repeat a manual export every time makes the feature feel unfinished.

Daptin can guide the person through an OAuth approval flow and store the delegated connection with their account. The backend can then use that authorization when a permitted action needs the outside service.

Because the connection belongs to the person, your product can keep the relationship clear: who approved access, which workflow uses it, and which records receive the result.

01

Earn trust with a familiar approval

The outside provider handles sign-in and shows the access request.

02

Keep secrets away from the frontend

Provider tokens stay in backend-managed records.

03

Make connections reusable

A customer can authorize once and use the connection across relevant actions and schedules.

How it fits

Part of one connected backend.

OAuth connections does more when it can reuse the records, people, access rules, and workflows already in your application.

Step 1Choose

The customer starts a connection from your product.

Step 2Approve

The outside service authenticates the person and requests consent.

Step 3Store

Daptin associates the delegated authorization with that user.

Step 4Use

A permitted workflow calls the service on the person's behalf.

What it enables

Use it in products people recognize.

Start from the experience you want to create; the backend capability supports the work behind it.

Import customer files

Let a user bring documents from a connected storage account.

Publish or notify

Send approved information through a customer's communication tool.

Scheduled synchronization

Refresh outside data periodically for the person who connected it.

Connected by design

Build the next part without starting over.

These capabilities share the same application context, so each one makes oauth connections more useful.

Know the boundary

What Daptin leaves in your hands.

OAuth support does not guarantee compatibility with every provider. You must register the client, choose appropriate scopes, protect redirect and signing configuration, handle revocation, and test the provider's exact flow.
