Backend Connections Directory (Admin/Founder only)

backendadminfounderenvironment variablestroubleshooting

What this does

A protected, technical directory of ALBY's backend services (Stripe, Mongo, ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Twilio, etc.) — showing purpose, which features depend on it, required environment variable NAMES (never values), and real connection status.

When to use it

Use this when troubleshooting why a feature isn't working, or before onboarding a new environment.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Open Help & Learning > Backend Connections (visible to admin/founder roles only).

  2. 2

    Each service shows: purpose, modules using it, required env var names, and status (Connected / Disconnected / Configuration Required / Error / Unknown).

  3. 3

    No API key, password, or token value is ever displayed here — only whether it's configured.

  • services/help_integration_status.py

If something goes wrong

I don't see this page.

Backend Connections is restricted to admin/founder roles — regular users cannot access it.
