Connection links require a Business or Enterprise plan. A sub-organization uses its parent’s plan. View plans
A connection link lets someone else connect an app to your workspace. They open the link, sign in to the app (for example WhatsApp with Facebook), and the connection lands in your workspace. They don’t need an Invent account, and you don’t need to give them access to your workspace. Agencies use this to onboard a client: create the client’s sub-organization, send the client a link, and the client connects their own WhatsApp number or Instagram account in a couple of clicks.

  1. Go to Settings → Connections.
  2. Click + Add Connection, then Send a connection link, and pick the app. You can also open any app and click Send a link to someone else under its connect button.
  3. Choose how long the link works: 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days (the default).
  4. Click Create link, then copy it or share it by WhatsApp or email.

The link opens on your own domain when you have one, so clients see your brand. A sub-organization’s links open on its parent’s domain.

What the Person Sees

Connection link page with the organization logo, Connect WhatsApp and a Continue to WhatsApp button
The link opens a short page with your logo: Connect WhatsApp, a Continue button, and when the link expires. After they sign in to the app, the page shows that the app is connected and they can close it. For an app that connects with a key, such as Telegram, the page shows that app’s key field instead, and the key is checked before the connection is saved.

Links nobody has used yet appear under Waiting for someone to connect at the top of the Connections page. From each row you can copy the link again or Revoke it.

Rules

​
Reconnecting

When a connection needs fixing, click Fix, then Reconnect, then Send a link to someone else. To refresh a connection that still works, open it and use the arrow next to Reconnect. For an app that connects with a key, open the connection and click Send a link to someone else. The link repairs that connection: the person signs in again or enters a new key, and no new connection is created.

API

You can create, list and revoke connection links with the API under /orgs/{org_id}/connections/links. See the API reference.
