External Credentials

External Credentials provide a secure way to store authentication keys and other credentials required for functionalities.

Overview

External Credentials provide a secure way to store authentication keys and other credentials required for functionalities such as Rule Functions, Storage Functions, and other integrations.

Qubitro encrypts all stored credentials, ensuring that raw values are never accessible by anyone, including Qubitro itself. This allows seamless integration with third-party services while maintaining security and compliance.

Core Features

• Secure Storage – Credentials are encrypted and cannot be accessed as raw values.

• Function & Integration Support – Used with Rule Functions, Storage Functions, and other automated workflows.

• Template Compatibility – Can be utilized in templates to automate credential usage.

• Multiple Provider Support – Different credential types are supported based on integration needs.

Adding External Credentials

To add an external credential:

1. Navigate to the Credentials tab in your Qubitro account.

2. Select External Credentials from the sidebar.

3. Click Add Credential and choose a credential provider (e.g., Mailgun, Twilio).

4. Provide the required information, such as:

   • Name (A unique identifier for the credential)

   • Domain (If applicable)

   • API Key / Token

   • Sender Address (For email services)

5. Click Save External Credential.

Once saved, the credential will be securely stored and available for use in Qubitro Functions and other integrations.

Managing External Credentials

To view or manage stored credentials:

1. Navigate to Credentials > External Credentials.

2. Existing credentials are listed with their creation date.

3. Click on a credential to update or remove it.

Delete an External Credential

Click Delete next to the External Credential to remove it.

Qubitro prevents deleting credentials in use, and you will get an error otherwise. Ensure that the credential is no longer referenced before attempting to remove it.
