Tracking Sent Requests

All credential request links you have sent across data sources are listed in one place at Connections → Credential requests. Open it directly via the URL or use the Credential requests button on the Connections page header.

• Search by data source, recipient email, or sender.
• Use Revoke on a pending row to invalidate the link before it is used.
