Connecting systems

This section helps you connect Tealfabric to external platforms in a predictable, secure way. It introduces authentication patterns, connector usage, and practical decision points so you can move from planning to a working integration without unnecessary complexity.

What you will learn in this section

You will learn how Tealfabric integrations authenticate with third-party systems, including OAuth2-based flows and credential-driven access patterns. The pages in this section explain how to choose the right connection model for your use case, how to scope access safely, and how to prepare integrations for day-to-day operations.

You will also find connector-specific guidance for external services such as CRM, storage, messaging, and productivity platforms. Use the connector catalog to quickly locate system-specific setup details, required fields, and expected behavior.

Recommended reading path

Start with authentication and integration basics so you understand how identity and permissions are handled across tenants. Continue with the connector catalog for the system you are integrating, then move into step-code or API guides when you are ready to implement and automate.

This progression keeps setup and implementation aligned, which reduces failed authorizations and avoids over-scoped credentials in production.

Continue to related guides

Use the connector catalog as your primary lookup for system-specific setup details: Connector catalog. If the external API returns XML, SOAP, or mixed formats and you are unsure which connector to use, read Choosing connectors for XML and other response formats. If you are building workflow logic around those integrations, continue with Automations and ProcessFlow. If you are integrating through HTTP endpoints, use API for developers.

With these guides used together, you can design integrations that are secure, maintainable, and ready for production use.
