Using an Authentication object in an API call ​

Connecting to many third party systems can require a process of authentication which has more than one step, eg to acquire a secret key or token and then a redirect URL, for instance.

However, an Authentication object allows you to securely store the required authentication details for the supported providers and have one place to manage those credentials.

See Click here for information on how to configure an Authentication object.

The Authentication object can then be selected and used in any number of API calls to that provider in your system.

Set up the API call ​

Follow these steps to set up the API call:

  1. Right click on the API call actor and select configure.
  2. Choose your Type, Method and Data Type.
  3. In the Authentication menu, select "Auth Object".
