Secret Management is now supported in Retool! We have native integrations with AWS and HashiCorp Vault that allow you to keep your secrets secure and rotate them without restarting your Retool instance.

Admins can set up secrets by namespace after granting Retool access through their secrets manager provider.

Set up Secrets Manager

Resource editors can reference those secrets by key name on resource configuration fields. Retool will then fetch the secret values directly from the secrets manager.

Set up Secrets Manager

These integrations will be available on self-hosted Retool (v3.4+) on the Enterprise plan.

For customers that aren’t on our Enterprise plans, check out our newly released Environment Configuration Variables feature to store secrets securely in Retool without exposing them.

We're expanding beyond internal tools so you can build nearly any software for your business with Retool.

With this launch, we're adding two new products to help you:

  • Ship a secure, custom portal: Build and host portals for your customers, partners, and vendors fully on Retool with external apps which manages signup, authentication, and permissions out of the box.
  • Augment existing software: Quickly add data and CRUD functionality to an existing app or portal with embedded apps.

Both external apps and embedded apps are now available across Business and Enterprise plans.

To learn more about how embedded and external apps are changing the way you can build with Retool, watch the overview video.

You can read details in the docs to embed your first Retool app or build an end-to-end portal on Retool.
