How authentication works
Pre-configured services
Email, web research, and file processing work immediately with no setup.External services
External services like Slack, Google Calendar, GitHub, and Discord requires credentials to be configured before use. When you create an automation that uses one of these services, Friday will tell you exactly what’s needed and provide setup instructions, such as a token or an authorization link you’ll get from the service. You only need to connect each service once, and then it works across all your automations. Example: If you create a Slack automation, Friday will ask for your Slack bot token and show you how to get it from Slack’s website. Once you provide it, all your Slack automations will work automatically.Custom APIs
Friday can connect to public REST APIs that don’t require authentication. Here’s how it works:- Tell Friday what you want to automate using the API
- Friday builds the automation with the necessary API calls
- Your automation runs on schedule
If Friday doesn’t recognize a service you mention, describe what it does and share any API documentation you have. Friday will figure out how to connect to it.
