Most web applications today let you integrate using their REST APIs, but authentication security is handled using 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.
You must navigate to the Integration - Connections page.
Select Connections - OAuth menu option.
You can create and manage OAuth connections using this UI.
Select the Actions menu to navigate to Create, Edit, Remove, Copy, and Authorize features.
Select the Export menu to navigate to XML and SQL features. You can export an OAuth connection to the target FlowWright environment using the XML or SQL file format.
Select the Import menu to navigate to the XML feature. You can import an OAuth connection using the XML file format. An existing OAuth connection is overwritten on successful import.
Refer to this link to create and manage OAuth Connections.
Once you create an OAuth connection, use the "Authorize" button to authorize the external app.
