Authentication Links

Authentication Links let you generate secure, shareable URLs for OAuth-based connectors. Send the link to a client or external team member, and they can authorize a data source (like Facebook Ads, HubSpot, or Google Ads) without needing a Weld login.

This is useful for:

  • Agencies managing data pipelines on behalf of clients
  • Consultants setting up connectors across multiple accounts
  • Teams working across brands or regions where different people own the source accounts

Authentication Links are available on the Business plan and above.

How It Works

  1. Go to Data Sources and select the connector you want to set up.
  2. Open the Share Authorization Link tab.
  3. Click Create Authorization Link to generate a unique, secure URL.
  4. Send the link to the person who has access to the source account.
  5. They open the link and complete the OAuth flow.
  6. The data source appears as connected in your Weld workspace and is ready to sync.

The recipient never needs to log into Weld or share credentials with you.

You can view and manage all active authentication links from Settings → Authorization Links. From there you can:

  • See which connectors have active links
  • Revoke links that are no longer needed
  • Create new links for additional connectors

Supported Connectors

Authentication Links work with all OAuth-based connectors, including:

  • Facebook Ads
  • Google Ads
  • Google Analytics 4
  • HubSpot
  • Instagram Business
  • LinkedIn Ads
  • Stripe
  • TikTok Ads

Any connector that uses OAuth for authentication supports this feature.

Security

Each link is unique and tied to a specific connector setup in your workspace. The recipient can only authorize the specific data source, they cannot access any other part of your workspace. Links can be revoked at any time from Settings.

For users who need ongoing access to the Weld workspace itself, consider using Viewer or Editor roles instead.
