Secrets

​
What is a Secret?

A Secret is a securely stored credential, such as a password, API token, or encryption key. Secrets can be referenced inside workflows without exposing their values. Best practices
  • Always use secrets instead of hardcoding values.
  • Limit access to administrators where possible.
  • Rotate secrets periodically for security compliance.
  • Use descriptive names (e.g., zendesk_api_token) for clarity.

API Keys

​
What is an API Key?

An API Key is a secure token that authorizes external systems or developers to call Robylon APIs. Each key is tied to your Robylon instance. These APIs can also be used to trigger voice calls and outbound voice messages. Best practices
  • Generate unique keys per integration or developer.
  • Revoke keys immediately if compromised.
  • Monitor usage via API logs.
