Connecting External Services

This guide explains how to connect external services for n8n-based automations in Sulla Desktop.

The easiest and most scalable way to connect services is to add your credentials in the Integrations page.

When you connect services there:

  • Your credentials become available to your AI executive assistant
  • The language model can use those credentials to help configure automation/workflow service connections
  • You avoid manually reconnecting every service step-by-step for each workflow

Where to do this​

  1. Open Integrations in Sulla Desktop.
  2. Select the external service you want to connect.
  3. Add the required credentials/API key.
  4. Save the integration.

Once saved, those credentials can be used by your automation setup flows.

Why this helps with n8n workflows​

Centralized credentials make workflow setup faster:

  • Fewer manual connection steps
  • More consistent service access across workflows
  • Easier reuse when your assistant creates or updates automations

If a service requires direct login​

Some providers require an interactive login/authorization step (for example OAuth consent).

In those cases:

  1. Start from Integrations as usual.
  2. Complete the provider login/authorization flow.
  3. Finish saving the connection.

After authorization is complete, the credentials can still be reused for automation and workflow setup.

Best practice​

Connect services in Integrations first, then build automations. This gives your assistant the credential access it needs to configure external service connections more automatically.
