# Providers

> Enable or disable OAuth providers and choose between periodic pull and webhook live sync from Settings → Providers in the Open Wearables developer portal.

**Settings → Providers** controls which OAuth providers your end users can connect and how live data is pulled from each of them.

## Enabling a provider

Each provider row shows its current state (**Enabled** or **Disabled**) and a toggle. Flip the toggles you want to change, then confirm with **Save Changes** in the bar that appears at the bottom of the page. Nothing is saved until you click it.

A provider still needs its OAuth client credentials configured in the backend environment before users can connect it. See [Supported Providers](/docs/providers/supported) for the per-provider setup guides.

## Live sync mode

Providers that support both delivery methods show a two-option control:

* **Periodic pull** - Open Wearables polls the provider API on a schedule.
* **Webhook** - the provider pushes new data to your deployment as it arrives. Requires a publicly reachable backend and, for some providers, a registered webhook subscription. See [Provider webhook subscriptions](/docs/api-reference/guides/provider-webhook-subscriptions).

Changing the mode is saved immediately, independently of the enable toggles.

Providers that support only one method show a static badge instead (**Webhook only** or **Periodic pull only**).
