The Problem

This feature explains how to generate the credential required for an integration to authenticate when calling the API. It helps you quickly create, retrieve, and use the correct credential so your integration can connect securely and reliably.

The Solution

When setting up an integration, you often need a credential that proves your integration is allowed to call the API. This feature provides clear guidance on where to generate that credential and how to use it in your integration’s API requests. It outlines the typical steps to create a credential in the product, copy or download it, and store it securely. It also explains how the credential is used during authentication so you can confirm your requests are properly authorized. By following these instructions, you can reduce setup time and avoid common connection and permission errors. The documentation emphasizes secure handling practices so credentials are not exposed in source code, logs, or shared channels. It supports common integration scenarios, such as server-to-server communication, automated jobs, and third-party connectors. It also helps you validate that the credential works by confirming successful API responses or connectivity checks. Overall, this feature enables a smoother integration setup by making credential generation and usage straightforward and repeatable.
