Native is Refold’s product for embedding third-party integrations inside your own SaaS product. Use it to let your customers connect the apps they already use (Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, and 300+ more connectors) and to read, write, and sync their data from your features, without building or maintaining a separate integration for each app. You ship the connect experience and the in-product settings. Refold handles authentication, token refresh, execution, and tenant isolation. No per-app OAuth code. No credential storage. No integration backend to operate.

​
Who Native is for

Native is for product and engineering teams who want integrations to be a feature customers turn on themselves, not a service you deliver one customer at a time.
  • Your customers connect their own third-party accounts from inside your product and choose what each integration does for them.
  • Your engineers embed a connect flow, collect per-customer settings, and call Refold to move data, using the SDKs and API.
If you instead scope and deliver bespoke enterprise integrations one project at a time, use Integration Delivery. Native is for self-serve, in-product integrations.

​
The embed model

A Native integration has three moving parts that you wire together once and reuse for every customer:
  • A linked account represents one of your customers. You create one per customer and scope every connection and data call to it.
  • A connector is a supported third-party app. You enable the connectors your customers can connect to.
  • A workflow is the automation that moves data between your app and a connected app. You build it once on the platform and expose it to customers.
Customers connect an app through a frontend flow you embed, fill in config fields so the integration fits their account, and your product then reads and writes their data through Refold. For the full picture of what runs where, see How Native works.

​
The builder journey

Building a Native integration follows the same path every time:
1

Run the Quickstart

Connect a real account and write data to it end to end in about 15 minutes. See the Quickstart.
2

Embed the connect experience

Let customers authorize their apps from inside your product. Choose a frontend flow: the hosted portal, the React SDK, or a build-your-own UI.
3

Collect per-customer settings

Add config fields so one connector adapts to each customer’s account without bespoke code.
4

Move data

Read, write, and sync data between your product and your customers’ connected apps.
5

Ship and operate

Walk the go-live checklist and monitor connection health in production.
