Vault

The vault lets you securely store secrets or common settings (for example: API keys, access tokens, refresh tokens) to authenticate requests with external services or integrations as vault connections.

• There are connections that require the user to provide credentials (for example, with an Auth0 with a machine-to-machine (M2M) application, you generate an access token with an expiration time and a refresh token). The connection stores both tokens and generates a new access token before it expires.
• There are external services that require authorizing scopes to generate API credentials. If you change the scopes, update the connection to those services to avoid connection issues.
• When a connection is added, it is ready to use in your flows. Any updates to an existing connection will propagate automatically.
