Delete Connections

Summary

This guide explains how to permanently delete connections from your Zoho Sigma account and extensions. It covers removing connection references from your extension and managing the connection lifecycle.

When to Delete Connections

  • Service is no longer used
  • Extension functionality changed
  • Duplicate connections exist
  • Security concerns (compromised credentials)
  • Deprecated third-party service
  • Testing/development connections no longer needed

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Remove from Plugin-Manifest (First!)

Important: Always remove the connection from plugin-manifest.json and publish the updated extension before deleting the connection from Sigma.
{
  "connectors": [
    // REMOVED: deprecated_connection entry
    {
      "name": "active_connection",   // Only keep active connections
      "type": "OAuth",
      "authorizationUrl": "https://..."
    }
  ]
}

Step 2: Publish Updated Extension

  1. Save the updated plugin-manifest.json
  2. Publish/update your extension in Sigma
  3. This removes the connection requirement for users

Step 3: Delete from Sigma

  • Option A (Quick): In the Connections page, hover over the connection → Click the Delete icon → Confirm deletion
  • Option B (Menu): Click the connection name → Click More Icon (three dots) → Select Delete → Confirm

Step 4: Confirm Deletion

A confirmation dialog appears. Review the connection details, then click Yes or Confirm.

Warning: This action is permanent. Once deleted, the connection cannot be recovered.

After Deletion

  • Connection is permanently deleted from Sigma
  • No longer available for use in extensions
  • Authorization with the service is revoked
  • Any extension code referencing this connection will fail
