Question

Webhook Oauth2 Client Credentials

I am struggling to work out how to generate an access token using OAuth2 grant_type=client_credentials with a client id and client secret.  Once I have the access token I can use bearer token authentication in subsequent requests.

 

 

POST https://someurl.com/oauth2/token

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Authorization: Basic [base64 client_id | client_secret]

grant_type=client_credentials

 

 

I have tried both Custom Webhook Requests and the standard POST request but I can’t seem to find any help online on how to enter this info in the zap front end

Hi @nsmith-ca 

Good question.

To help us have context, please post screenshots with how your Zap step is configured.

Also, link to the API docs you are referencing to configure the Zap step.
