How to set up the Dropbox Dash connector for Lucid

Overview

You can connect 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.

Integration features

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 timestamp, so it can search these items.
• Folders: Folders can be used to store, categorize, and manage documents. Dash gathers the folder name and timestamp, so it can search these items.
• User information: Dash gathers the name and email address to enhance search capabilities.
