A provider is an external system the platform can call—Gmail, Slack, Snowflake, and so on. An integration is your authenticated connection to one provider. Connect a provider once; reuse it across pipelines, apps, and queries.

Connection statuses

Once connected, each integration shows one of three statuses:

How pipelines reach the provider

Generated step code never sees raw credentials. The pipeline calls a platform proxy that injects the right token (Nango handles OAuth refresh; the platform handles API keys) and routes the request. This is why:
  • You connect once, not per pipeline.
  • Revoking a connection takes effect everywhere immediately.
  • Rotating a credential doesn’t require touching any step.
