Before you connect

Prepare before requesting access

This checklist is preparation — not an attestation or approval.

Access

Authentication, permissions and consent

Authentication

Authentication patterns are published per operation in the API reference.

Permissions and consent

  • Request only the scopes you need
  • Organization approval is recorded per scope
  • Consent status comes from its owning system
  • Revoke access you no longer use

Secrets

Handle credentials safely

Masking a value on screen isn't the same as storing it securely.

1

Store

In a secrets manager — never in code, repos or browser storage

2

Reveal once

Where designed, a secret is shown once; copy it straight to secure storage

3

Rotate

Rotating may interrupt integrations using the previous credential. Review affected applications.

4

Revoke

Immediately, if exposure is suspected

Check text before you share it

Paste a log line or message you're about to send to support. This check runs only in your browser — nothing is sent or stored.

Local check only. It can miss secrets — always review manually.

Transport, environments & webhooks

Protect every connection

Separate environments

Keep non-production and production credentials, data and callbacks apart. Test actions must never reach unapproved production resources.

Protected transport

Use HTTPS and validate the host you connect to. Specific protocol and cipher requirements are confirmed by engineering before publication.

Webhook messages

Verify signatures before processing and bound replay windows, following the exact published version.

Sensitive data

Collect less, keep it shorter

1

Minimize

Request only fields your approved purpose needs.

2

Mask

Show partial values where full values aren't needed.

3

Protect

Encrypt stored sensitive data with managed keys.

4

Retain

Retention periods aren't yet confirmed for publication — follow your agreement.

5

Delete

Delete on schedule and when access ends.

Troubleshooting

What did you see?

Choose the response you received. Remediation depends on the actual API contract for the operation.

Report a concern

Report a suspected vulnerability

Report a suspected vulnerability through the approved private security channel. Share the minimum evidence needed, and don't disclose it publicly while it's being reviewed.
