Membrane provides a pre-built Connect UI for creating and managing connections inside your app. It lives in the JavaScript SDK.

​
Install

npm install @membranehq/sdk

​
Connect UI

Use membrane.ui.connect() to open the connection flow. This is the main way to let users connect to external apps from your product. 
const connection = await membrane.ui.connect({ integrationKey: 'hubspot' })
// Returns the connection object, or null if user cancels
You can also connect by intent — Membrane will find the right app automatically: 
const connection = await membrane.ui.connect({ intent: 'Connect to a Custom App (https://custo.mydomain.com)' })

​
