Connection settings

This connector declares no ordinary configuration fields. Its sign-in or managed provisioning flow supplies the access it needs.

Diagnose a failure

Check the connected account, its permission to the target, the selected folder, table or collection, and the connection’s current status. A successful sign-in is not proof that a particular resource is shared with that account. An empty search or folder page is not necessarily an authentication error. Revoke access when it is no longer needed; deleting the connection can also affect its tools and synced data. See connection lifecycle.
