Connect

The Connect tab links your App with other systems, both ways: they can read and write its records through its API, and your App can call them when records change. It has five parts: API keys, Connections, Calls made, the API reference and AI agents. Only administrators set up keys and connections.

API keys: other systems use your App

1. Click to add a key and say what it is for (for example Website form).
2. Tick only what it may do, table by table: add, see, change, delete.
3. Copy the key: it is shown only once.

A key belongs to this App only and can be revoked at any time; a revoked key stays revoked. Each key may make up to 120 calls a minute.

Connections: your App calls other systems

1. Add a connection with a short name (for example crm), an internet address, and the header lines it needs (for example its own key). Headers are stored and never shown again.
2. Choose what each call sends: the event with the record's details, or only the record's fields.
3. Copy the signing secret, shown once: the other system uses it to check that each call really comes from your App.
4. Ask the designer to use it by its name: "when a lead is added, send it to crm".

Only public internet addresses are allowed; addresses inside your network are refused.

Calls made

The latest calls to your connections, with their result. A call that fails is tried again after 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours and 12 hours; you can also try it again by hand.

API reference (for developers)

Everything a developer needs, generated from your App: authentication, each table's endpoints (list, create, read, change, delete), examples in cURL, JavaScript and PHP, the JSON that comes back, the error format, and ready-to-use code to check the signature of your App's calls in PHP or Node.js. Filter it by table, method or field; each table opens on its own, and every example has a copy button.

AI agents: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and your own agents

Switch on Available to AI agents and connections to give the App's skills to the workspace's agents and to the AI you connect from the Agents App (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok). It is off until you switch it on. The App then offers seven skills, named after it (for example fleet_list):

• describe its tables and fields, and what the person may do in each;
• list find records with filters and search, with the total;
• get open one record;
• totals counts, sums and averages over every record, worked out by the database;
• create and update add and change records, checked exactly as the App's own forms check them;
• delete delete a record; on a connection that asks first, a person approves it.

An AI never gets more than the person it works for: each skill follows the roles set in Settings → Access, table by table. What an AI may change also depends on how its connection was set up in the Agents App: read only, ask first, or act directly. Connections that may use everything get the skills at once; a connection limited to chosen tools needs them ticked.
