From where do I get my Client Id and Pass? I’m trying to setup the Oauth client for some apps
Hey , the setup is different for each app.
Usually you will need to check the official OAuth documentation page for the specific app
The client Id and secret are the ones you get from the google developer console for example?
If that’s so, what’s the point? If I have to do all that work I don’t see how pipedream helps me save time
Pipedream helps you to manage the access token and refresh token for you oauth apps.
Pipedream also provide sources and actions for the app you use out of the box, so that you don’t need to care about that specific app’s APIs
For basic usecase, you can use Pipedream OAuth client (which Pipedream team has already setup and mostly do not require any Client ID or Client Secret)
Maybe part of the issue is that I’m very confused with OAuth client and the custom option. When I try to setup an OAuth is requesting me to sync with my personal gmail/slack account but what I’m trying to do is to provide it for my users. I’ve read the docs few times but many links are broken and things like the AccountId and secrets aren’t clear to me
Also, I setup a Project as well, I understand I need to use that as part of the API request. By any chance, do you have an example code of how to setup the OAuth client?
