Shared App Connections

In some circumstances it may be desirable to share a single app connection across multiple user accounts.

This can happen when lots of automations need to access the same app connection, where connecting dozens or hundreds of user accounts all to the same app with the same credentials is not practical or desirable.

Dedicated systems have a special "setup" account that can be used to create shared app connections:

In this account, create app connections as usual (see App Connections):

Now other accounts in the system will see these connections listed when actions and triggers are edited:

The typical approach is to build templates using the shared connections which are then deployed to all the user accounts. See Automation Templates.
