When connecting to a new app for the first time:
Run connect command:
python scripts/execute_action.py --connect notion
You'll receive an OAuth URL:
Please authorize Composio to access Notion: https://app.composio.dev/authorize/notion?token=xxx
Click the link and authorize in your browser
Confirm back in terminal:
Authorization complete? (y/n): y
Connection is now saved - future requests work automatically
Cost
-
Composio API: Free tier available (check platform.composio.dev for limits)
-
No per-action cost for most operations
-
Premium apps may require paid Composio plan
Security Notes
Credential Handling
-
Store COMPOSIO_API_KEY in .env (never commit)
-
OAuth tokens are stored securely by Composio
-
Revoke access anytime via platform.composio.dev
Permissions
-
Each app requests only necessary OAuth scopes
-
Review permissions before authorizing
-
Connections can be removed individually
Data Privacy
-
Composio processes requests but doesn't store your data
-
Actions execute directly with the connected service
-
Review Composio's privacy policy for details
Troubleshooting
Issue: "App not connected"
Solution: Run --connect <app> and complete OAuth flow
Issue: "Invalid API key"
Solution: Check COMPOSIO_API_KEY in .env, regenerate if needed
Issue: "Action failed"
Cause: Missing permissions or invalid parameters Solution: Check --list-actions <app> for correct action format
Issue: "Rate limited"
Solution: Wait and retry, or upgrade Composio plan
