View, manage, and revoke every third-party app connected to your Vanio account from one place.

Connected Apps

The Connected Apps screen gives you a single, clear view of every third-party tool you have authorized to access your Vanio account. From here you can see exactly which workspaces each app can reach, what it is allowed to do, and disconnect anything with one click — no support ticket required.

What it does

When you connect an external tool to Vanio, that tool receives a secure, limited credential tied to a specific workspace and a specific set of permissions. Connected Apps is your control panel for all of those credentials. You can review every active connection at a glance, understand what each one can access, and immediately revoke access if you no longer need a connection or if something looks unfamiliar.

Getting started

Connect an app to Vanio

Most third-party tools that support a direct Vanio connection will walk you through the process from inside their own interface. The general flow looks like this:

Inside the external tool, look for an option such as Connect to Vanio or Add integration.
The tool will open a Vanio sign-in page. Enter your Vanio email and password and sign in.
A Vanio authorization screen appears showing:
- The name of the app requesting access
- The workspace(s) you belong to, so you can choose exactly which one to share
- The list of permissions the app is asking for
Select the workspace you want to give the app access to.
Review the permissions, then click Approve.
You are redirected back to the external tool, which is now connected.

Tip: You are always in control of which workspace is shared. If you manage multiple properties across separate workspaces, you can connect the same app to each workspace independently — each connection is its own separate, isolated credential.

Deny a request

If you do not recognize the app, or you simply change your mind, click Deny on the authorization screen. The app receives no access and you are returned to where you started.

Viewing your connected apps

Go to Settings in the left-hand navigation.
Select Connected Apps.

You will see a list of every app that currently has an active connection to your account. Each row shows:

App name — the tool that requested access
Workspace — which of your workspaces it can access
Permissions — what the app is allowed to do (for example, read reservations, update listings)
Connected on — the date you approved the connection

Disconnecting an app

Go to Settings → Connected Apps.
Find the app you want to remove.
Click Disconnect on that row.
Confirm when prompted.

The app loses access immediately and completely. Any active session it had is ended right away — it cannot continue reading or writing data to your workspace from that moment forward. You do not need to do anything inside the external tool; the connection is cut on the Vanio side.

If you want to reconnect the same app later, simply start the connection process again from within that tool.

How it works

When you approve a connection, Vanio issues a secure credential that is:

Scoped to one workspace — the app can only see the property data in the workspace you selected, never data from your other workspaces.
Limited to the permissions you approved — if you approved read-only access to reservations, the app cannot modify bookings or access guest payment details.
Tied to your account — only you can see and manage the connections you have authorized. Other team members in the same workspace manage their own connections separately.

Vanio handles all of the credential management automatically in the background. You never need to copy API keys, rotate secrets, or configure anything technical.

Key features

One-screen overview — all your active connections in one place, so nothing is hidden or forgotten.
Workspace-level control — each connection is tied to a specific workspace, giving you fine-grained control over which properties are exposed.
Granular permissions — you can see exactly what each app is permitted to do before you approve, and the app can never exceed those permissions.
Instant disconnection — revoking a connection cuts access immediately, not at the next token expiry. The disconnect button does what it says.
No technical setup — connecting an app requires only your Vanio login and a single approval click. No developer involvement needed.
Isolated credentials — each approval creates its own independent credential. Disconnecting one app has no effect on any other connection.

Tips & best practices

Review your connections periodically. It is good practice to open Settings → Connected Apps every few months and remove anything you no longer use. Fewer active connections means a smaller surface area if an external tool is ever compromised.
Connect apps to the right workspace. Before clicking Approve, double-check the workspace shown in the picker. If you manage properties in multiple workspaces, make sure the app is connecting to the one it actually needs.
Disconnect before offboarding a tool. If you stop using a third-party service, disconnect it from Vanio before closing your account with that service. This ensures the credential is cleanly revoked rather than left active.
One person's connections are their own. If a colleague set up an integration while they were on your team, their connections are under their account. Ask them to disconnect it, or contact Vanio support if they are no longer available.
Deny anything unfamiliar. If you see an authorization request you did not initiate — or an app name you do not recognize on the Connected Apps screen — deny or disconnect it immediately and reach out to Vanio support.

Common questions

What happens to my data if I disconnect an app? Disconnecting removes the app's ability to access Vanio going forward. Any data the app already pulled into its own system is not deleted from that system — that is governed by the app's own data policy. Vanio simply ensures the app cannot read or write anything new from the moment you disconnect.

Can an app access more than I approved? No. The permissions shown on the authorization screen are a hard ceiling. The app can only do what you explicitly approved, and only within the workspace you selected. Even if the app requests broader access in the future, it would need you to approve a new connection for that.

I approved a connection by mistake. What should I do? Go to Settings → Connected Apps and click Disconnect on that app right away. Access is cut immediately, so acting quickly is all that is needed. If you are concerned the app may have read sensitive data during the brief window it was connected, contact Vanio support and we can review the activity with you.
