Overview

A provider is the name your integration is listed under when other workspaces install it. You get one by applying for developer access. Custral reads the application, and approving it creates your provider and opens the provider portal to you. A provider belongs to your Custral account, not to a workspace. Switching workspace does not change what you see, and leaving a workspace does not take the provider with it.
Building something for your own workspace only? You do not need a provider. Create an application and an API key instead.

​
Apply

1

Sign in and open the developer page

Go to app.custral.com/developers. Signed out, the page shows Sign in to apply and brings you back after you sign in.
2

Fill in the application

Enter a provider name, an optional website, and what you want to build. The fields are described below.
3

Click Apply for access

The page changes to show your application as with us now.

​
What happens next

Approval means you can build. It does not list you anywhere:
  • Your provider starts hidden. No workspace is offered it in the connections catalog until Custral lists it.
  • Every block you create starts private. An embed block reaches customers only after it passes review.
  • Every module you create starts private. Custral decides whether it is listed. The portal shows where it stands and has no control to change it.

​
The provider portal

The portal is a separate area of the app at /provider. Its sidebar lists: A new provider’s Overview says Create your first embed, with a New embed block button.
