Credentials

There are various credentials which can be added for each integration. They are -

• Client ID - The client ID provided by the integration.
• Client Secret - The client secret provided by the integration.
• Access Token URL - The access token URL provided by the integration.
• Redirect URL - The redirect URL provided by the integration.
• Scopes - The permissions which define a particular task performed by the integration. For example, in order to use the Google Spreadsheets integration, the scope https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds needs to be added from the Scopes dropdown. Multiple scopes can be added for each service you want to use.
• App ID - This credential is only specific for Hubspot.

Things to note

• For Google integrations like Youtube, Google Calendar and Google Analytics, the credentials from Google APIs are automatically fetched. These integrations only require the specific scopes that you want to add.
