WorkOS has introduced Pipes, a tool designed to simplify third-party integrations for modern applications. As developers face the complexities of OAuth flows, token management, and provider-specific setups, Pipes takes on these challenges. Instead of spending days on integration infrastructure, developers can use Pipes to connect to services like GitHub, Google Calendar, and Slack with minimal effort. It manages secure token storage, automatic token refreshes, and handles errors, allowing developers to focus on building features rather than plumbing. Pipes operates through an embeddable widget that users can interact with to enable integrations easily. Once a user connects a service, developers can retrieve access tokens with a single API call. This approach decouples authentication from integration, allowing users to sign in through various methods while still authorizing specific services independently. Real-world applications of Pipes include project management tools syncing GitHub pull requests and AI assistants accessing Google services for scheduling. For those in the development phase, Pipes offers shared credentials that eliminate the need to create and register apps with each provider until the production stage. This feature streamlines the development process, enabling teams to start building integrations without the usual barriers. At launch, Pipes supports major platforms like GitHub, Google, Slack, and Salesforce, with plans to expand based on user feedback. The tool also distinguishes itself from existing OAuth features by focusing on providing access to third-party services separately from user authentication.
