How to connect Sevdesk
Workspace admins and owners can connect Sevdesk. You can create multiple Sevdesk connections using different API tokens, which is useful for connecting different Sevdesk accounts or users. When the connection is created, Sevdesk becomes available across all projects in the workspace. Anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in chat to link their project to it.Prerequisites
Before connecting Sevdesk, make sure you have:- A Sevdesk account with API access
- A Sevdesk API token
- Lovable workspace owner or admin role
All API requests made through this connector use your Sevdesk API token. API usage, plan limits, and billing are handled directly by Sevdesk, not Lovable.
Step 1: Get a Sevdesk API token
A Sevdesk API token lets your Lovable app authenticate with the Sevdesk API. To find your Sevdesk API token:Open your Sevdesk account
Sign in to Sevdesk with the account you want to connect.
Open your user settings
Go to Settings → Users, then open the user whose API access you want to use.
Step 2: Connect Sevdesk to Lovable
You can create multiple connections using different API tokens.Configure the connection
- Display name: name the connection, for example
Sevdesk Prod. - API token: paste your 32-character Sevdesk API token.
Choose who can access this connection
Under Who can access this connection, decide who in your workspace can use the connection:
- Only you (default): only the person creating the connection can use it and its associated data.
- Invite specific people: only you and explicitly added workspace members can use the connection and its associated data.
- Invite entire workspace: click Invite entire workspace to make the connection available to everyone in your Lovable workspace.
Working with contacts
Sevdesk’s contact API separates organizations from person contacts. When you ask Lovable to list contacts, include person contacts if you want customers, suppliers, and individual contacts to appear. For example, ask Lovable:Limitations
The Sevdesk connector cannot:- Create a Sevdesk account or API token for you
- Automatically rotate API tokens. To rotate a token, update the token in Sevdesk and update the Lovable connection
- Support per-end-user Sevdesk authentication. Each connection represents a single Sevdesk account shared across projects linked to it
- Bypass Sevdesk API limits, plan limits, or permissions on the connected Sevdesk user
How to unlink projects from a connection
Editors and above can remove specific projects from a connection without deleting the connection entirely. The connection will remain available for other projects. To unlink projects:
When unlinked, those projects will no longer have access to through this connection. If a project needs again, you can link it to any available connection.
