Hey, there!
I am new to Zapier’s Developer platform and I’m not a developer myself. I have limited experience using API’s and only some basic/foundational knowledge surrounding APIs.
Nonetheless, I’m looking to create a custom integration within Zapier for the purposes of getting some specific data not currently offered by the public Help Scout Zapier integration.
I am at the stage of setting up OAuth v2 authentication.
To best of my ability I have followed the Help Scout’s documentation for setting up authentication.
Unfortunately I am getting the following error:
“Cannot change state from 1610418296.483357210070 to {my_app_secret_here} - please remove it from authentication.oauth2Config.authorizeUrl”
For Step 2, I successfully added the OAuth Redirect URL over in Help Scout!
For Step 3, I have successfully copied over the Help Scout App ID and App Secret to Zapier’s Client ID and Client Secret fields!
For Step 4, I have added the Authorization URL with my App ID and secret:
https://secure.helpscout.net/authentication/authorizeClientApplication?client_id={application_id}&state={your_secret}But it is in this step I uncertain of what might require adjustments based on Help Scout’s documentation
Help Scout suggests that all authentication requests must be,
“authenticated via the Authorization header, “ and I am uncertain of what this means.
Am I meant to be adjusting the HTTP Headers in the Authorization URL step?
If anyone is able to help out a total beginner and point me in the right direction, I’d super appreciate it!
