Geocoding, directions and static maps. For a product that needs maps; a page rarely does.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find Mapbox and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against Mapbox before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

| Access Token | Your Mapbox access token with appropriate scopes |

### Getting the credential

1. Sign up at [Mapbox](https://www.mapbox.com)
2. Go to **Account** → **Access Tokens**
3. Create a new token or use your default public token
4. For advanced features, configure token scopes:
   * Public scopes: No restrictions needed
   * Secret scopes: Add specific API permissions

## Notes

* Free tier: 50,000 requests/month for most APIs
