Allow an app to access your account

Some apps and services let you connect them to your Softalon account. When they do, Softalon shows an Authorize screen. It lists what the app wants to do, so you decide what it can access.

   Step 1 of 4

   Sign in if asked

   When an app sends you to Softalon, sign in as usual if you aren't signed in already.

   Step 2 of 4

   Check the app and your account

   The screen title shows Authorize and the app's name. A check badge next to the name means the app was built by the Softalon team.

   Under the title, Signed in as shows your email. If that's the wrong account, click Not you? to sign out and sign in with the right one.

   Step 3 of 4

   Review the permissions

   Under requests access to:, each permission has a checkbox. Common ones:

   Permission	What it allows
   Profile Information	Read your profile details, including name, email and account information.
   Offline Access	Keep access to your account even when you're not using the app.
   Resource permissions	Read, create, update or delete a type of data in your account, for example Allow the application to read your salons.

   Uncheck any permission you don't want to grant. You must keep at least one checked to continue.

   Step 4 of 4

   Approve or cancel

   Click Authorize to give the app the checked permissions. Click Cancel to refuse.

   You will see:

   Softalon sends you back to the app.

Apps that skip this screen

Apps built by the Softalon team may not show the Authorize screen at all. You go straight back to the app after signing in.

Build your own app

If you're a developer, you can register your own app in Account › Apps or in a salon's settings. See Create an API app.
