Connect to your customers’ data using a Connect Card link

What's this blog post about?

The article discusses a solution for securely onboarding customer data without handling their login credentials, which can introduce security issues and be cumbersome to manage. It introduces the concept of Connect Cards, setup forms by Fivetran that allow customers to authenticate connections between their sources and Fivetran. The article then provides a step-by-step guide on how to generate a link to a Connect Card using Python. This involves setting up a destination in your Fivetran account, gathering authentication credentials, building a Python file, creating a payload, generating the connector ID and token, and finally generating the link to the Connect Card. The generated link can be sent to customers via email or other communication mediums for them to authenticate the connection on their own without sharing sensitive information.
