Settings Overview

Overview

The Site Settings section provides a centralized administration console for configuring workspace-level services and operational features.

From this menu, Workspace Administrators can manage security, developer integrations, notifications, automation workflows, AI capabilities, audit history, and system maintenance.

These settings apply to the current workspace and help ensure secure, reliable, and efficient application management.

The Site Settings menu includes the following modules:

• Audit Activity Logs
• SMTP Email Services
• Developer API Keys
• Push Notifications
• Site Workflows
• AI Studio
• Recycle Bin

Settings Components

The Audit Activity Logs module records important activities performed within the workspace.

Every significant operation is logged to provide complete visibility into user actions and system events.

Typical events include:

• User sign-ins
• Record creation, updates, and deletion

• Permission changes
• API activity
• Configuration updates

Benefits

• Complete audit trail

SMTP Email Services

The SMTP Email Services module allows administrators to configure an outbound email provider for the workspace.

Once configured, CoconutDB can send transactional emails for various platform features.

Typical use cases include:

• User invitations
• Email verification
• Password reset emails
• OTP verification
• Workflow notifications
• System alerts

Administrators can configure their preferred SMTP provider using their organization's email infrastructure.

Developer API Keys

The Developer API Keys module allows administrators to create and manage API Keys for secure application integration.

API Keys provide authenticated access to CoconutDB REST APIs without requiring user login credentials.

Typical use cases include:

• Server-to-server communication
• Backend integrations
• Scheduled jobs
• External applications
• Automation platforms

Administrators can generate, rotate, or revoke API Keys as needed.

Push Notifications

The Push Notifications module enables real-time notifications for applications connected to the workspace.

Administrators can configure notification providers and use them to send alerts triggered by application events or workflows.

Common use cases include:

• Approval notifications
• Task assignments
• Order updates
• Workflow events
• System alerts

Site Workflows

The Site Workflows module allows administrators to create server-side automation that executes in response to application events, HTTP requests, or scheduled tasks.

Workflows can be used to automate business processes without requiring external automation tools.

Typical use cases include:

• Data validation
• Email automation
• Third-party API integrations
• Scheduled maintenance tasks
• Business process automation
• Custom server-side logic

AI Studio

The AI Studio module provides tools for building AI-powered features within your workspace.

Administrators can configure AI integrations, manage AI resources, and develop intelligent workflows that leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI services.

Typical use cases include:

• AI assistants
• Document summarization
• Intelligent search
• Content generation
• Data extraction
• Workflow automation using AI

Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin stores records and documents that have been soft deleted from the workspace.

Instead of permanently removing data immediately, CoconutDB retains deleted items until they are restored or permanently deleted by an administrator.

The Recycle Bin helps prevent accidental data loss and supports recovery of important business information.

Typical actions include:

• View deleted items
• Restore records or documents
• Permanently delete data
• Review deletion history
