Connect Tallyfy to other apps using private browsing
How can I use private browsing to connect Tallyfy to other apps?
When connecting Tallyfy® to external online tools (such as Zapier, Slack, Google Drive, and other services), you may encounter login or authorization problems. These issues frequently stem from conflicting login information, cached data, or stored cookies in your regular browser session.
Utilizing your browser’s private browsing mode (also called Incognito, InPrivate, or Private Window) often resolves these connection issues by providing a completely clean browsing session without accessing stored cookies, cached data, or saved login credentials.
When should I use private browsing for app connections?
Consider using a private browsing window when you experience:
Login errors during connection authorization attempts
Repeated connection failures or timeout issues
