# Connection lifecycle

A connection represents the link between your application and a user on a specific Memo Bank workspace. A single connection can exist for a user/workspace pair at a given time.

The ID of the connection can be retrieved from the [OAuth2 token endpoint](#operation-createtoken) and will be sent along events to the application's webhooks.

When a user deactivates a connection, requests to the API will fail with an `inactive_connection` error code.
