-### Using the Pipedream SDK (preferred)
+### Authenticating on behalf of your user
+
+Most API integrations that use OAuth to authenticate requests require that you pass a user's access token in the `Authorization` header with the `Bearer` prefix. For these apps, the Connect proxy will automatically handle that for you — you don't need to pass any reference to their OAuth access token in this case.
+
+For apps that require a different authentication method, you should include the necessary headers with the value surrounded by `{{ }}` in your request to the proxy, and Pipedream will automatically replace the macro with the real values and forward to the downstream API. For example:
+
+```javascript
+/*
+OpenAI requires that you pass the API key 
+in the `Authorization` header with the `Bearer` prefix:
+*/
+
+headers: {
+  authorization: "Bearer {{api_key}}", 
+}
+
+// Pipedream will replace the `{{api_key}}` macro with the actual API key
+```
+
+```javascript
+/*
+Zoho apps require that you pass the OAuth access token
+in the `Authorization` header with a custom `Zoho-oauthtoken` prefix:
+*/
+
+headers: {
+  authorization: "Zoho-oauthtoken {{oauth_access_token}}", 
+}
+
+// Pipedream will replace the `{{oauth_access_token}}` macro with the actual token
