Authentication & Connections

To automate workflows, Kadabra needs permission to interact with your external tools (such as posting to Slack, updating HubSpot, or reading from Notion). We prioritize security and transparency in how these connections are handled. The fastest way to authenticate is to let the AI Agent guide you. When you ask the Agent to build a flow involving an external tool, it will automatically detect if authentication is required. It will prompt you at the exact right moment to sign in, ensuring the connection is scoped correctly for the task at hand.
Best Practice: Simply type “Create a flow that sends a Slack message when a new lead arrives.” The Agent will handle the logic and present the login button when needed.

​
