Connect

G2

G2 connects through OpenID Connect (OAuth 2.0). You authorize Modiva from G2's own consent screen — Modiva then reads products, categories and reviews (survey responses) from the G2 software marketplace through one unified API and MCP server. G2 access tokens are short-lived; Modiva refreshes them automatically so your connection stays healthy without you reconnecting.

Before you start

A G2 account with API access (set up through the G2 Developer Portal).
Permission to authorize a third-party app on that G2 account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Modiva
Log in at modiva.ai and open the Dashboard. You need a Modiva account before you can connect any platform — creating one takes a minute and no credit card is required for the free tier.
The Modiva dashboard — your home for connections, posts and analytics.
2
Open Connections → New connection
In the left sidebar choose Connections, then click New connection. You'll see the full catalogue of platforms grouped by category (Social, Ads and CRM).
The connection picker. Use the search box or category filter to find your platform.
3
Select G2
Click the G2 card. Modiva redirects you to G2's official sign-in and permission screen — your password is entered on G2, never on Modiva.
Click Connect on the G2 card to start the secure OAuth flow.
4
Authorize Modiva on G2
Review the permissions Modiva is requesting and approve them. If you manage more than one account, page or profile, pick the one you want Modiva to manage.
G2's consent screen. Approve the requested scopes to continue.
5
You're connected
G2 now sends you back to Modiva and the connection appears with a green Connected status. From here it's available to every MCP key and API call in your workspace.
A healthy connection shows a green dot and the connected account name.

Permissions Modiva requests

When you connect G2, Modiva asks only for the access it needs to run the tools you use. You can revoke it any time from G2 or by disconnecting in Modiva.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Where is my G2 password stored?

Nowhere. You sign in on the provider's own site and Modiva only receives a scoped access token, which is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Modiva never sees your password.

My connection says Expired or Error — what do I do?

Open Connections, find the platform and click Reconnect (or Refresh token). Providers periodically expire tokens or revoke them when you change your password; reconnecting re-runs the consent screen and restores access.

How do I disconnect?

Open Connections, click the G2 row and choose Disconnect. Modiva deletes the stored token immediately. You can also revoke Modiva from inside G2's own app settings.

What can Modiva read from G2?

Products, categories and reviews (G2 exposes reviews as survey responses). The connection is read-only for now.

Can Modiva read G2 buyer intent or market signals?

Not through this connection. G2 delivers buyer-intent and market-signal data as warehouse feeds (BigQuery/Snowflake) rather than simple REST reads, so those aren't exposed as tools here — the tools focus on products, categories and reviews.

My G2 token keeps refreshing — is that a problem?

No. G2 access tokens are short-lived by design. Modiva stores a refresh token and renews access automatically in the background, so you won't be asked to reconnect unless you revoke access in G2.
