What is My Inbox Application?

The My Inbox application is an on-premise SAP Fiori app designed to help business users efficiently process requests directly from their SAP inbox. It provides approvers with all necessary information for reviewing, approving, or advancing business processes, enabling faster, more informed decision-making.

To integrate My Inbox with the SAP BTP Launchpad service, we manually activate the application. The SAP Cloud Connector then creates a secure link between the SAP BTP cloud environment and the on-premise system, enabling reliable and protected data transfer across environments.

By generating and configuring these keys you enable secure and authenticated communication between your service instance and external clients. This includes local development environments, applications in different deployment spaces, or external systems outside your cloud deployment.

Once configured, these keys provide the necessary permissions for these entities to interact with your service thus streamlining integration and access management across various environments.
