How to add Lucid to Dropbox Dash

You can add your Lucid account to Dropbox Dash so you can access and search your Lucid content directly within Dash. 

This requires OAuth authentication to ensure Dash only retrieves information relevant to your data, giving you full control over what Dash can access. Dash strictly follows the OAuth model, meaning it only accesses the data you specifically permit.

• Admin approval: The app must be enabled by your Dash admin. If Lucid isn’t listed in your Apps, contact your admin.
• Authorization: You must authorize Dash in Lucid.
• Active account: You need an active account with Lucid.

For Lucid, Dash captures the following details from Lucidchart:

• Documents: Dash gathers information such as the document title, preview, data contained in the document, and the time stamp, so it can search these items.
• Folders: Dash gathers the folder name and time stamp, so it can search these items.
• User information: Dash gathers the name and email address to enhance search capabilities.
