Authentication
Before you begin, make sure you have the following information:
Connection Name: Choose a meaningful name for your connection. This name helps you identify the connection within your application or integration settings.
Authentication Type: Formstack supports OAuth authentication. The connection asks for the Client ID and Client Secret of a Formstack OAuth application and shows a Callback URL to register with that application.
Authentication & setup
OAuth 2.0
Formstack uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization, allowing third-party applications to access Formstack accounts (forms, fields, submissions, etc.) on behalf of users.
Getting Credentials
Log in to your Formstack account.
Open the profile menu dropdown and select API.
Click New Application to create an OAuth application.
In UnifyApps, open the Formstack connection form and copy the Callback URL it shows. Paste it as the application's Redirect URI.
Save the application, then copy its Client ID and Client Secret.
Enter the Client ID and Client Secret in the connection form and authorize the connection.
