Third Party Integrations

Frappe ships with several integrations to outside services. They all live under
frappe/integrations/, and most of them are configured through a settings
DocType in the Desk. This page is a map of what is built in and where to find it.

Google

Set your Google API project credentials once in Google Settings
(frappe/integrations/doctype/google_settings/). That client ID and secret are
shared by the Google integrations:

  • Google Calendar (.../doctype/google_calendar/): two-way sync of events.
  • Google Contacts (.../doctype/google_contacts/): import contacts.
  • Google Drive (.../doctype/google_drive/): store backups on Drive.

The OAuth handling for these lives in frappe/integrations/google_oauth.py.
For "Login with Google" on the login page, see
Social Login OIDC instead, which uses a separate
Social Login Key.

Dropbox

Dropbox Settings (frappe/integrations/doctype/dropbox_settings/) backs up
your site files to a Dropbox account. You authorize the app once, then a
scheduled job uploads the database and file backups.

S3 backups

S3 Backup Settings (frappe/integrations/doctype/s3_backup_settings/)
uploads site backups to an Amazon S3 bucket (or any S3-compatible store). Set the
bucket, region, and access keys, and a scheduled job pushes backups on the
interval you choose.

Google Drive, Dropbox, and S3 backup integrations have been moved to a separate app as of Version 16.

LDAP

LDAP Settings (frappe/integrations/doctype/ldap_settings/) authenticates
users against an LDAP or Active Directory server. It supports both OpenLDAP and
Active Directory, and LDAP Group Mapping
(.../doctype/ldap_group_mapping/) maps LDAP groups to Frappe roles so group
membership controls what a user can do.

Webhooks

Outgoing webhooks let your site POST to an external URL when a document event
fires. They are configured with the Webhook DocType. See
Webhooks for the details.

Slack

Slack Webhook URL (frappe/integrations/doctype/slack_webhook_url/) stores
an incoming webhook URL for a Slack channel. The Notification DocType uses
it to post messages to Slack.

Push notifications

Push Notification Settings (frappe/integrations/doctype/push_notification_settings/)
configures the service used to send mobile push notifications from the site.

Helper utilities

Shared request helpers live in frappe/integrations/utils.py, including
make_get_request, make_post_request, and create_request_log. Use these when
you build your own integration so calls are logged consistently in Integration
Request
.
