Direct keys and pasted OAuth tokens use operating-system credential storage. Environment-variable configuration stores only the variable name.
Test the provider
- Save the provider.
- Select Test connection.
- dFlow~IQ asks the provider to reply exactly OK and waits up to 45 seconds.
- Resolve configuration, credential, endpoint, model, timeout or rate-limit errors before use.
A hosted provider may bill this minimal test request.
Approve external sharing
Hosted providers require approval for each conversation. The approval is bound to the selected destination and account identity.
- Review shared context before sending from topic, record, schema, comparison or producer screens.
- Sensitive field names such as password, token, secret and authorization are redacted, but inspect the result yourself.
- Changing the provider destination invalidates consent.
- Conversation history is kept only in memory for the current application session.
