Adding integrations
Actions are powered by the systems you integrate with your Links, find out how to connect them to your account
Almost all Action Links require you to connect your account to a third-party system, from Mailchimp to Tessitura. But don't worry, we've tried to make it as straightforward as possible to do this.
Head to My Integrations and click the Add integration button
Choose a product from the list of available systems
Give your integration a name so you can recognise it (particularly useful if you're planning to add more than one account for the same product)
Add the credentials for the product that'll give your Links access to that system; you can find out more about how to configure specific integrations in the relevant section for that product.
How are Action Links integrations secured?
In order to integrate with your other systems we'll likely need you to provide access in one of two ways:
By copying an API key from the system's account area and pasting it into a field in the New Integration form
By clicking an 'Authenticate with [system]' button on the New Integration form, logging in and granting access to the system
In both of these cases, Action Links will store one or more pieces of data (or 'keys') in our database. But we don't just store them directly, instead we encrypt them:
When you press 'Save', the function handling the request encrypts the data using AES256 encryption
Before the data is written to the database it's encrypted again using a separate encryption key
Any requests we make to your systems are proxied via our secure serverless cloud functions, so your users will never have direct access to your systems or the keys we use to get access to them.
To make things extra secure, we also:
Store encryption keys in a separate database to the encrypted keys, on a separate server
Have ensured that nobody at Objectively Digital or its service providers has access to the encryption keys
