How to Setup the Dropbox Dash Connector for Lucid

Overview

Users can connect their Lucid account to Dropbox Dash, allowing them to access and search all of their Lucid content directly within Dash. This integration requires OAuth authentication to ensure that Dash only retrieves information relevant to the user’s data, giving them full control over what Dash can access. Dash strictly adheres to the OAuth model, meaning it only accesses the data users specifically permit.

Users can only connect to Dash if the integration has been approved and enabled by their Dash admin.

Team members must authorize access for Dash to connect.

Integration features

For Lucid, Dash will capture the following details from Lucidchart:

How Dash uses the items
Documents
A document is a workspace for diagrams. Dash gathers information such as the document title, preview, data contained in the document, and the timestamp, so it can search these items.
Folders
Folders can be used to store, categorize, and manage documents. Dash gathers the folder name and timestamp, so it can search these items.
User information
Users’ details in Lucidchart. Dash gathers the name and email address to enhance search capabilities.

Crawling strategy and performance

  • Content sync begins immediately after establishing a connection, to ensure you can start searching right away, prioritizing the most relevant data.
    • “Recent/latest items" refer to content that a user has interacted with through actions such as preview, upload, create, comment, open, modify/update, share, and shared-with-me.
  • Incremental sync occurs every 15 minutes.

User requirements

The user must have a Lucid account to connect to.
