Auth Profiles – Zoho Flow Settings

Auth Profiles

Auth profiles store authentication details for external applications, allowing you to create custom connections for the send webhook action. Use auth profiles when connecting to applications that aren't natively supported by Zoho Flow.

An auth profile is a one-time setup. Once created, you can reuse it across multiple connections. Zoho Flow supports five authentication methods for auth profiles:

  • Basic Auth — Username and password, encoded in Base64.

  • OAuth v1.0a — Token-based access using request, authorization, and access token URLs.

  • OAuth v2 — Secure token-based access using access and refresh tokens.

  • API Key — A unique key provided by the application to authorise access.

  • JWT(JSON web token) — A secure digital pass that proves your identity when Zoho Flow connects to an external application.



To create an auth profile, go to Settings > Auth Profiles and click Create.


NotesNote: You cannot update the authentication method or On-Prem agent in an existing auth profile. If you need to delete an auth profile, first delete the connections using it.
