The Connect Portal is a ready-made interface that lets your users connect their third-party app accounts to your application.

Paragon's out-of-the-box Connect Portal

To customize the Connect Portal for a specific integration, go to the Integration Overview page and click Customize Connect Portal. This opens the Connect Portal Editor.

Within the Connect Portal Editor, you can tailor several aspects of the user experience:

  • Overview: Update the integration’s description shown in the Overview tab.
  • Configuration: Adjust how workflows and workflow settings appear in the Configuration tab.
  • Appearance: Change the visual style of the Connect Portal.

​
Overview

There are two options you can edit in the Overview tab:

  • Short description: a one-line description of your integration that appears at the top of the Connect Portal.
  • Overview: a long-form description of your integration. This description is the first thing your users see when opening the Connect Portal, so this is the best place to describe and showcase your integration’s benefits in detail to your users.

You can use Markdown formatting in the Overview section.

​
Configuration

​
Settings

Under the Settings section of the Configuration tab, you’ll be able to create user-facing settings that allow your users to configure parameters of their workflows from the Connect Portal.

Some example use cases of User Settings include:

  • Slack: choosing which channel that messages should be sent in
  • Salesforce: choosing a custom opportunity stage that new opportunities created in
  • Hubspot: choosing a custom lead status that new leads should be created with
  • Jira: choosing which Jira user that new issues should be assigned to
