I have added in the keys for the API that I am wanting to use at the top of the automation, but I can’t figure out how to add a new app into the Sandbox.
Is this possible?
I am needing to be able to see the app I am trying to connect in the sandbox so that I can ensure I am building the remaining flow correctly.
To create a new app, it is easiest to copy an existing one that uses the same authentication.
For OAuth, you can start by making a copy of the Keap app assembly:
If the API uses an API key instead of OAuth, you can copy ActiveCampaign’s assembly:
When you save the copy, the catalog entry information is then entered:
Sorry to necro your post…
It seems like making a copy of each to serve as a template in your own repo would be a good first bet for a newbie looking to connect to a new app/API.
Thoughts? Are there any other common patterns that we can copy/mimic to jumpstart our understanding?
Yes, copying from existing integration assemblies is basically how we always start a new integration.
The main trick is having an understanding of which existing integration most closely matches the new one, mainly in terms of authorization. Takes some time to review the existing integrations in the catalog.
The most common pattern in terms of auth for major API providers is OAuth. API keys are otherwise most common. This page provides an overview of the various types of common auth:
Action and triggers also have various patterns:
These decision tree flowcharts can also help guide you based on known integration patterns:
