Connecting Webmecanik Automation to third-party tools or building custom integrations requires generating API credentials (OAuth 2 keys). 🛠️
Step-by-Step API Key Creation
1. Access API Settings
- Log in to your Webmecanik Automation instance.
- Click the Gear icon ⚙️ in the top-right corner.
- Under the Integrations section, select API Credentials.
2. Initiate Creation
- On the API credentials management page, click the purple New + ➕ button in the top-right corner.
3. Configure the Application
Fill in the required fields in the edit form:
- Authorization protocol: Keep OAuth 2 (selected by default).
- Name: Enter a clear name for your integration (e.g., Zapier, HubSpot CRM, E-commerce Site). 📝
-
Redirect URI: Enter the callback URL provided by your third-party application.Note: This field is required for user authorization flows (
authorization_code,refresh_token). It is not required for server-to-server authentication (client_credentials).
4. Save and Retrieve Your Credentials
- Click Save & Close 💾 at the top right to confirm.
- Your new credentials will appear in the main list, displaying both the Public Key and Secret Key. 🔑
Security Best Practices 🔒
- Confidentiality: Never share your secret key publicly or expose it in client-side (front-end) code.
- Isolation: Generate separate API credentials for each connected service to make access revocation easy and targeted if needed.
