IN THIS ARTICLE

Create a connection link in **Apps** to let a client connect their app account without creating an Albato account or sharing their login credentials with you. This avoids giving clients access to your Albato account or asking them to send you their credentials.

This is useful for agencies, IPaaS companies, or freelancers who set up automations on behalf of clients.

> Important: The function enables agencies to securely receive data from clients without sharing logins and passwords.

## How the Connection via Link Works

Create a link and send it to your client. The client uses it to authorize access to their app account. The resulting connection appears in your Albato account.

## Create a Connection Link

1.  **Log in** to your Albato account.

2.  Go to the **Apps** section and click **Add a connection**.

**Important:** The link works only **once** and is valid for **48 hours**. If the client doesn’t use it in time, click **Refresh credentials** to update the link.

## Authorize the Connection

6.  The client opens the link and **grants Albato access**.

7.  Then, they enter their **login**, **password**, **API key** or authorize via **OAuth**.

8.  If the **connection** is successful, the client will see a confirmation message.
