When using an app like Google Workspace, HubSpot, or Slack, you log into your account as an authorized user. Similarly, for doFlo to perform tasks on your behalf, it must be authenticated on your behalf.Authentification can happen in our connections screen or directly within a trigger or action on the canvas. This is what our connection screen looks like, where you can search for and authenticate over 2,500 apps!There are two different kinds of authentication credential types in doFlo, OAuth and API keys.
OAuth
OAuth authentication is the most convenient authentication method. It provides a simple and familiar sign-on flow that allows users to grant doFlo permissions to do tasks for them in a given app. It's a really easy process.
API keys
Not all apps or third party services support OAuth authentication, this is why it’s also possible to utilize API keys. API keys are obtained from the third party service provider and can usually be retrieved from their account section. A Google search or ChatGPT prompt similar to the suggestion below usually yields a good result on how to find it:‘Where to find my [APP or SERVICE NAME] API key’
