Using API access token

To configure this credential, you’ll need:

• An API Access Token: To generate an Access Token, create a new application in Formstack using the following details:
  • Redirect URI.
  • Platform: Select Website.

Once you’ve created the application, copy the access token either from the applications list or by selecting the application to view its details.

Refer to Formstack’s API Authorization documentation for more detailed instructions.

Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you’ll need:

• A Client ID
• A Client Secret

To generate both of these, create a new application in Formstack using the following details:

• Redirect URI: Copy the OAuth Redirect URL from the credential to enter here.
  • For self-hosted instances, enter the OAuth callback URL for your instance. For example https://localhost:5678/rest/oauth2-credential/callback.
• Platform: Select Website.

Once you’ve created the application, select it from the applications list to view the Application Details. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret. Once you’ve added both, select the Connect my account button to begin the OAuth2 flow and authorization process.
