Lens Share (mlens.fyi)
Share a live, interactive preview of your hosted data source with external stakeholders using mlens.fyi — no ConnectWyze login required.
What it is
Lens Share is an integration with mlens.fyi that lets you generate a shareable link from a workflow's hosted data-source output. Recipients can browse and filter data source items in mlens.fyi without accessing your ConnectWyze workspace. The link is scoped to the specific data-source data you choose to expose.
ConnectWyze proxies the share request through a server-side route, resolving your API key transparently, so the mlens.fyi key is never exposed to the browser.
When you'd use it
- You want to send a creative preview to a client or external reviewer who does not have a ConnectWyze account.
- Your team uses mlens.fyi for data-source QA and you want to route your hosted workflow output into it.
- You need a persistent, shareable URL that always reflects the latest data-source state.
Quick start (user)
Add your Lens API key
A workspace admin or owner must complete this step first.
- Go to Dashboard → Settings → Workspace (
/dashboard/settings/workspace). - Scroll to the Integrations section and find Lens Share (mlens.fyi).
- Enter your API key from mlens.fyi. Keys follow the format
mlens_sk_.... - Click Save. The key is encrypted at rest and never displayed again in full.
Share a hosted data source
- Open a workflow that has a hosted data source configured.
- Click the Share button or open the share dialog.
- Select which fields to include in the shared view using the Fields selector.
- Click Create Lens Share. ConnectWyze calls mlens.fyi on your behalf and returns a shareable URL.
- Copy the URL and send it to your recipients.
