Applications

Inbound Apps

Inbound Apps in Descope allow users to sign in to third-party applications using Descope as their identity provider (IdP) via OAuth 2.0. By enabling secure authentication, users retain control over their identity while organizations manage consent, permissions, and API access efficiently.

With Inbound Apps, organizations can secure APIs, simplify integrations, and enhance security for external services, including:

  • AI-powered assistants and chatbots authenticating via OAuth-based tokens
  • Partner applications managing user sessions while enforcing consent-driven access
  • Machine-to-machine (M2M) workflows securely exchanging API requests without manual authentication

By centralizing authentication and consent management, Descope simplifies external integrations while enhancing security, compliance, and user experience.
