Connected apps

Third-party apps you have authorised against your account.

Connected apps

What it is

Connected apps lists the other software your organisation has connected to Base through the partner API: an accounting add-on, a scheduling tool, a supplier's ordering system. For each one it shows who makes it, when it was connected, when it last did something, and exactly what it is allowed to do, as a list of plain sentences. Disconnecting stops an app immediately.

This is different from MCP connections, which are your own Claude or ChatGPT.

Before you start

  • Nothing to set up here. An app appears after one of your software providers offers a Base connection and an admin approves it.
  • Only an admin can disconnect an app. Everyone else can see the list.

How to

See what an app can do

  1. Read the card. Under the name and maker is when it was connected and last used; the list beneath says "Can …" for each permission it was granted.

Disconnect an app

  1. Press Disconnect on the card and confirm.

The app stops working with your Base account immediately.

What happens on its own

  • Last used updates every time the app does something, so a connection nobody uses is visible.
  • Nothing connects by itself. A provider's app reaches this list only after an admin approves the connection.

Things that surprise people

  • Disconnecting is immediate and the app is not warned. Anything it was in the middle of fails.
  • The permissions on the card are the whole grant. An app cannot do anything not listed there.
  • If the page says no apps are connected, that is the fact; there is no hidden list.
