Connectors

Connectors extend the automation engine beyond Collabase-native actions. Each connector handles authentication, exposes typed actions, and optionally listens for incoming events from the external service. Collabase ships with 40+ pre-built connectors organized into categories below.

Setting up a connection

Before using any connector in an automation, you save your credentials once as a Connection. The connection is encrypted and reused across all automations — you never enter credentials directly inside a node.

Go to Automation → Connections

Open your Space and select Automation in the sidebar. Click Connections in the top navigation bar.

Click + New Connection

Click the + New Connection button. A dialog opens.

Select the connector

Choose the connector you want to connect — for example, Slack, GitHub, or Bexio.

Enter your credentials

Fill in the required fields. Each connector lists exactly what it needs. See the connector’s individual page for where to find the credentials in the external service.

Test the connection

Click Test Connection. Collabase verifies the credentials against the external service and shows a success or error message.

Save

Give the connection a descriptive name (for example, Slack — Engineering Workspace or Bexio Production) and click Save. The connection is now available in every automation’s action node picker.

Credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and are never shown in execution logs or run history. To update credentials, open the connection and edit the relevant fields.

Connections can be:

Visibility	Who can use it
Private	Only you
Shared with Space	All automations in this Space
Shared globally	All Spaces on this Collabase instance

Select a connector from the sidebar to open its page.

The HTTP connector lets you call any external service that is not covered by a dedicated connector. Use it to integrate with internal tools, custom APIs, or newer services not yet in the connector library. See the HTTP connector page for details on authentication, headers, and response handling.
