You’ll import a credential in the event that you’ve authenticated a user with a provider outside of Sequin. For example, you might have your users authenticate to Stripe via an OAuth flow you control. You can then import that credential into Sequin.

Importing a credential is an idempotent operation. Sequin upserts credentials. So, if you attempt to import a credential for an existing Salesforce account, only one credential will be created.
