Hello guys,
I’m looking to create an app but I can’t find how to perform a specific action. My application is going to consume Rest services from an external platform for various users. Each user has their own authorization token, therefore, when a user applies my integration, I need this user to indicate what her authorization token is.
I have checked in the community and in the Monday welcome apps but I can’t find how to do this.
I have noticed that for example, the Jira application requests a URL, an email, and a token, the first time it is going to be used (attached image) and saves them to use them; I would like to do something similar but only saving the token.
There is some documentation that can guide me in this process?
Thanks!
Hmm it sounds like what you could want to implement in this case is OAuth. This way, the user doesn’t even need to generate a token manually to paste into your integration.
Could something like this be better? OAuth would then be initiated when the user installs your app, and wouldn’t be tied to a specific integration recipe.
If not, while our apps framework doesn’t yet support the same type of credential-asking page like our in-house Jira integration, you can perhaps even make the authorization a part of your recipe.
So for instance, if you set up a custom field that would be used in your trigger to take in the user’s token to be stored.
Thanks @Helen
I currently don’t have a way to use OAuth. So I will follow the suggestion to request the API in the recipe creation.
I would have liked to have something more elaborate, but initially, it could meet the need.
