Connections

What it is

Connections are reusable, authenticated HTTP endpoints. Use them to call secured APIs to create test data, verify information in your systems, or point to the endpoint where your AI assistant is hosted. Configure authentication once (API key or OAuth2) and then reference the connection in requests—Lamdis attaches the right headers/tokens automatically.

How to use

1. Navigate to Integrations → Connections in the sidebar
2. Click New to create a connection
3. Provide a label (friendly name) and key (auto-generated or custom)
4. Select the auth type (API Key or OAuth2)
5. Configure authentication credentials
6. Click Save

Auth Types

API Key

• Supply an API key directly or reference a Variable (preferred)
• When referencing a variable, the secret rotates centrally
• Keys are attached as headers automatically

OAuth2

• Configure token URL, client ID, and client secret
• Optionally specify audience and scopes
• Lamdis handles token refresh automatically

Key Features

• Centralized credential management: Configure auth once, use everywhere
• Variable references: Point API keys to Variables for easy rotation
• Audit logging: Track all connection modifications
• Impact analysis: See which actions use a connection before deleting

Tips

• Use meaningful labels like “Docs API (Production)” or “Auth Service (Staging)”
• Reference Variables for API keys instead of storing raw secrets
• Keep keys stable—they’re used to identify connections in action configurations
• Use scopes to limit access when using OAuth2
