Connect a connector
A connection is one authorised vendor organisation. Connecting is a standard OAuth handoff: you approve access at the vendor, and FloConnector stores the resulting tokens encrypted, so your AI client never sees them.
Authorise the connection
- In your workspace, open Connectors and pick the one you want (there are 50+, across CRM, marketing, email, accounting, and more).
- Click Connect. You are sent to the vendor to sign in and choose the account or organisation you want to expose.
- Approve the requested access. The vendor sends you back and the connection shows as connected.
Here is where your password actually goes, which is nowhere near FloConnector:

B --> C["<b>You sign in at the vendor</b><br/>Your password is typed on their site<br/>FloConnector never sees it"]
C --> D["You approve the scopes<br/>and pick the organisation"]
D --> E["Vendor sends back<br/>a one-time code"]
E --> F["FloConnector swaps it<br/>for access and refresh tokens"]
F --> G[("Encrypted in the vault<br/>before it is stored")]
G --> H["Connection shows as<br/><b>connected</b>"]

Vendor OAuth tokens are envelope-encrypted before they are stored. The database never sees plaintext, and your AI client never receives vendor credentials. FloConnector refreshes the tokens for you in the background.
Scopes
FloConnector requests only the scopes the exposed tools actually need. You approve them at the vendor at connect time and can review or revoke access from the vendor's own account at any time.
One organisation per connection
Each connection maps to a single vendor organisation (for accounting tools like Xero, that is one company file or tenant). To expose a second organisation, add a second connection. Some connectors cap how many connections a workspace may hold.
Most connectors are delivered through Composio, which manages the OAuth and the underlying tools. A few, like Xero, are native (FloConnector talks to the vendor directly). Either way the connect flow and the result are the same: an authorised connection you can put behind a profile.
