Embeddable View

Nected introduces a powerful framework for embedding users and providing pre-signed authentication. These features offer seamless integration and secure access control mechanisms, empowering organizations to embed Nected’s UI components and enable direct sign-ins with pre-signed URLs.

Overview Flow of Embedded Users

Below is the overview on how to generate pre-signed urls to embed rules and workflows within another product.

To integrate Embedded Users Flow with the Embedded View, here's how you can access and manage it for these users:

Add Users To Enable Embeddable Flow

1. Navigate to Workspace Settings:

   • Go to the Workspace section in the Nected platform.

   • Click on the Embedded Users tab under the Workspace menu.

2. Add Embedded Users:

   • Input the email address of the user in the "Add user by email" field.

   • Assign a role using the Select Role dropdown menu.

   • Click Add User to grant access.

Generate Embeddable Signed URL for Users:

For each user added, you can provide access to Embedded Views through the pre-signed authentication URL.

1. Generate the Pre-signed Token using the provided API.

   Endpoint: (<https://api.nected.ai/dev/signed-token?email=>)<member-email>

   HTTP Method: GET

   Authentication Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
email	String	Yes	User's email address for token generation
nected-api-key	String	Yes	Organization's unique API authentication key

Access the Postman workspace: Nected Public Workspace. Locate the collection under "Embed Rules and Workflow White-labeling." Utilize provided APIs to fetch UI component configurations

Example Authentication Request

curl --location '<https://api.nected.ai/dev/signed-token?email=%3CEMAIL_ID%3E>' \\
--header 'nected-api-key: {{NECTED_API_KEY}}'

2. Response Structure

When successfully executed, the API returns a comprehensive JSON response containing the pre-signed authentication token:

{
  "data": {
    "signedURL": "<https://app.nected.ai/signed-url/><<PreSigned-Token>>=?redirect="
  },
  "code": "success",
  "message": "success."
}

1. Nected's pre-signed authentication supports targeted redirections, allowing administrators to guide users directly to specific platform sections:

Redirect Path	Destination Resource
/rules	Rule Management Interface
/workflow	Workflow Configuration Dashboard

Example Rule Url:

<https://app.nected.ai/signed-url/><PreSigned-Token>?redirect=/rules

---

Embed Rule or Workflow listing UI inside your product via iframe

Embed Workflow Example

<iframe
  src="<https://app.nected.ai/embed/><PreSigned-Token>?redirect=/workflow"
  width="100%"
  height="600"
  frameborder="0"
  allowfullscreen
></iframe>

Embedding via iframe is currently feasible for self-hosted deployments to avoid cross-domain issues. In Saas deployments, custom domains are not present thus preventing option to embedd UI due to cross-domain issue.

Error Handling and Response Codes

Comprehensive Error Classification

The pre-signed authentication API implements a robust error management strategy, providing clear, actionable feedback across various potential failure scenarios:

HTTP Status	Error Identifier	Description	Recommended Action
401	UNAUTHORIZED	Invalid or expired API credentials	Verify API key and regenerate if necessary
500	INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR	Unexpected system malfunction	Contact Nected technical support
429	TOO_MANY_REQUESTS	Authentication request quota exceeded	Implement exponential backoff strategy
413	REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE	Malformed authentication request	Validate request parameters and ensure payload size is within limits
400	BAD_REQUEST	Malformed authentication request	Validate request parameters

Best Practices and Recommendations

1. Implement strict API key rotation policies

2. Utilize HTTPS for all API interactions

3. Generate pre-signed URLs dynamically and close to the point of use

4. Establish clear access governance policies

5. Regularly audit user access and permissions
