Manage App connection

If you are building a Custom UI for your users using the Cobalt SDKs and now want to build the functionality for your users to connect or disconnect with the applications that you have displayed, you can do so by using the SDKs.

​

Using Cobalt SDKs

​

.connect() method

The .connect() method in the JS SDK by Cobalt lets your customers to connect to an application platform, authorizing you to access the platform APIs and data on their behalf.

cobalt.connect("slack") // opens a new tab for OAuth apps
cobalt.connect("twilio", {
  number: 1234567890,
  sid: "ACCOUNT_SID",
}) // saves the auth data for Key based apps

The .connect() method requires the application slug for which the connection needs to be made and if the app is Key-based, then it requires a Payload containing the auth data.

The method will return true if the connection was successful.

​

.disconnect() method

The .disconnect() method disconnects the specified application and remove any associated data from Cobalt.

cobalt.disconnect("slack")

The .disconnect() method requires the application slug for which the disconnection needs to be done.
