Some Flows work with public information. Others need access to a signed-in account on the target website.

​
API access and website access

These serve different purposes:
  • Schema API credentials authenticate your integration to Schema.
  • A website session gives a Flow access to the account on the site it is using.
An API credential alone does not sign you in to another website.

​
How sessions work

For websites that require authentication, Schema for Flows caches sessions on Schema’s servers and loads them when needed. A Flow can reuse an existing session rather than requiring a separate sign-in step in every workflow.

​
Manage access

The Sessions dashboard is where you review active sessions, add or update credentials, and revoke access. The Sessions preview shows this experience with sample data. Once you receive access, use the dashboard and account setup instructions provided for your environment.

​
When sign-in is required

If a call returns auth_required:
  1. Check that you connected the intended account for that website.
  2. Update its credentials or sign in again as needed.
  3. Confirm access before retrying the call.
Do not keep retrying the same request while the account still needs attention.

​
Revoke access

Revoke a session when you no longer want a Flow to use that account. Calls that depend on signed-in access may require you to connect the account again. For recovery guidance, see errors.
