Connecting to Services

Connecting to services

To automate with most apps in Fuse, you must first create a connection. Through this connection, Fuse communicates with the third-party service according to the settings of your specific scenario.

For example, if you want to create a scenario in which you intend to work with your Limble tasks, you must first grant Fuse access permission to your Limble account.



Connecting to services

Go to your Fuse scenario and choose the module you want to use. If a given module requires a connection to a service, Connection is the first option.

1. Click Add.

Note - A default connection name appears. You can change it if you want.


2. Click Save.

Note - For some connections, you may also wish to check the Show advanced settings option and fill in additional fields.

When creating a connection to most third-party services, Fuse redirects you to their web page which prompts you to grant Fuse access to your data.

When prompted, authorize Fuse.

You have now successfully established the connection.


Access Rights

For every connection, Fuse requires only those access rights necessary to successfully complete a specific scenario. For example, if you create a scenario that downloads posts from Facebook, Fuse will not ask for permission to post them.

Unfortunately, not all services allow you to limit access to only specific tasks. Therefore, Fuse requires full access rights. For more information on how to restrict Fuse access to your account registered to those services, see the respective application API documentation.

Personal data security is Fuse's top priority. Your data is secured and protected in Fuse using industry-leading standards.


Managing Connections

You can manage your connections in the Connections section. Here you can see which permissions Fuse has for each connection and rename, reauthorize, or delete existing connections. Click Verify to check if a connection to a service is established.


Renewing a Connection

Fuse usually obtains access rights to a given service for an unlimited period of time. However, this is not always the case. With some services, you must renew the access permission after a certain period of time. To renew a connection, click Reauthorize in the Connections section.
