Most web applications today let you integrate using their REST APIs, but authentication security is handled using what is called an oAuth process. This is where the user navigates to the external app and authorizes permission to access information from that external application. FlowWright lets you define oAuth connections to any source on the web that supports oAuth.
Define an oAuth connection right from FlowWright:
You can create an OAuth connection right from the toolbar:
Once you create an OAuth connection, use the "Authorize" button to authorize the external app.
Follow the below-provided steps within a Process Definition:
Make an oAuth REST call using this step; the return result could be JSON. The JSON result can be manipulated using the following new step:
FlowWright provides oAuth templates for the following applications:
- Amazon
- Azure Active Directory
- Bitbucket
- Bitly
- Box
- Dropbox
- FitBit
- FormStock
- FourSquare
- GitHub
- GoogleDrive
- GotoMeeting
- HubSpot
- Imgur
- PayPal
- PipeDrive
- SalesForce
- WindowsLive
These templates can be found in the directory
“C:\FlowWright\wwwroot\OAuth Templates,” import them using the toolbar button. With new versions, this list of oAuth sources will grow. If we should provide an oAuth connection as a template, let us know at support@flowwright.com, and we'll be happy to create them.
FlowWright's oAuth step allows you to connect to any REST API without writing any custom steps.
