Test a connector before you rely on it
Verify a connector against the live provider and see exactly who you are connected as.
Updated Aug 2, 2026
After you connect a real account, don't wait for a full sync to find out whether it worked. The Test button on each connector card checks the stored credentials against the provider and reports the result immediately.
What it tells you
- Connected as <name> — a live call succeeded; you'll see the account, mailbox or organisation you're connected as.
- Sample mode — the connector is running on sample data; there's nothing live to test yet. Use Connect live account to authorise real credentials.
- A provider error (e.g. HTTP 401) — the credentials were rejected. Reconnect the account to refresh access.
When to use it
Right after adding real OAuth keys, and any time a sync starts failing — Test isolates whether the problem is the credentials (reconnect) or something downstream. It only reads; it never changes your data beyond refreshing an expired token.
