Tail

​

What it is?

Tail is an SDK that simplifies the secure linking of your users’ accounts on third-party applications (like Google, Amazon, Uber, etc.) to your application. It achieves this without requiring your application to store or directly handle user credentials.

​

Key Benefits

• Simplified Authentication: Tail streamlines the often complex process of integrating with multiple third-party authentication systems.
• Enhanced Security: Your application never directly handles user credentials, reducing the risk of security breaches.
• User Control: Users can easily link and unlink their accounts, giving them control over their data.
• Raccoon Passcode Integration: Tail uses Raccoon Passcodes to represent users and their linked accounts, enabling seamless integration with other Raccoon AI APIs.

​

Primary Use Case

Tail is essential for enabling your application to perform actions on behalf of your users on third-party platforms. For example, if you want your application to automatically book an Uber ride for a user, you would use Tail to link the user’s Uber account to your application (via a Raccoon Passcode). Then, you could use the LAM API, along with the user’s Raccoon Passcode, to perform the booking action.
