To integrate Fin with external systems (e.g. Stripe), you will need to set up an API token in your Fin workspace and ensure it is correctly configured. Below are the detailed steps:
Step 1: Create the authentication token in Fin
Navigate to Settings > Authentication.
Click on New token.
Fill out the token fields with the following values:
Enter a token title.
Enter a description.
Select a type e.g. Text, HTTP request, user.
Under the token value enter your API key. This is either your secret test key (e.g.,
sk_test_...) or your live key (e.g.,sk_live_...).Set the token prefix to Bearer.
Set the key for request header to Authorization.
After completing this step, you will have created an authorization token that follows this format when sent in requests. For example:
Authorization: Bearer <your_stripe_api_key>
Step 2: Configure the token in the data connector
Navigate to Settings > Data connectors.
Select an existing data connector or create a new one.
Locate the section where you can select an authentication token.
Choose the token you just created in Fin.
Save or confirm the settings to complete the integration.
At this point, your API key will be successfully linked to your Fin support. This setup ensures seamless, secure communication between external systems and Fin, allowing you to access external data directly within your Fin workflows.
