What does the receiving user see?

When the user clicks on the Auth Link, they will see the StackOne Integrations Hub with a list of all integrations enabled on your project. The user can then select the provider they want to connect and will be prompted to fill out their authorization details.

Verifying the Connection

After the user has completed their authentication and connected successfully, Stackone will fire a account.created webhook event containing the Account ID (which you will need to successfully make a unified API request. The linked account will also be displayed in the accounts page and it will also be visible via the Accounts API endpoint.
