You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:
  • Formstack Trigger

​
Prerequisites

Create a Formstack account.

​
Supported authentication methods

  • API access token
  • OAuth2
Refer to Formstack’s API documentation for more information about the service.

​
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.
Formstack ties access tokens to a Formstack user. Access tokens follow Formstack (in-app) user permissions.

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