Types of Connections

1. Default - Services listed under the Pick Your Service category are considered as Default Connections.
   
2. Custom - If you would like to create a connection with a service that is not listed under the Pick Your Service category, then you can create a custom connection.
   

Adding a new connection   

1. The Pick your Service option contains the list of third party services pre-registered with Zoho Recruit. These connections when used will have the name of Zoho DRE in the third party services.
   
2. You can also select the Custom Service option to create a connection in case the service you are looking for is not available in the pre-registered services list.
   

Using a Default Connection:     

1. When the service you want to integrate is available in the Pick your service section, you can use it by just choosing the service and giving a proper connection name. You have to enable the Use credentials of login user option (user access value) to make the connection use the user authentication. In case the option is not enabled, the connection will use the admin (connection owner) authentication.
   
2. Click Create and Connect. 
    

Create a Custom Connection:   

1. To create a custom connection, click the Custom Service option and provide the following.
   Service Details
   Service Name - Name of the third party service you are building an integration
   Authentication Type (Basic / OAuth1 /OAuth 2) - Select the authentication method followed by the respective service
   Param Type - Every service will have its way to accept the necessary parameters. Choose the parameter type from either of the following Query String, Form Data, Headers
   
   Connection Details
   Connection Name - Your connection name
   Scope - Define how and what information can be accessed by the connection
   Use credentials of login user - Enabling this option will prompt the user to authenticate the connection using their own credentials. If the option is disabled, then the connection will be authenticated using the connection owner's credentials
    
   Note:
   In case of extensions containing connections that work with the owner credentials (disabling the use credentials of login user option), user who installs the extension will be considered as the connection owner. That is, the connection will be authenticated with the credentials of the user who installs the extension.
   
   
2. Click on Save.
   
3. Upon successful authorization, your connection is created and listed on the connections page.
