How to create a unique ID and Secret token

In this article, we will walk you through the steps required to create a unique ID and Secret token to use when setting up an integration between idibu and another product. A typical example of when you might use these is when setting up your CRM integration.

Creating your unique ID and Secret tokens

Log in to your idibu account as normal.
Having done so, click this link to access the Developer Framework page.
Click the Create an application button, and the following screen will appear:
Type in the Application name of your choice - for future convenience, make it clear and relevant.
- For example, if you are following these steps to set up your CRM integration, use the name and URL of the CRM in question.
Click Save.
The next page that opens is not relevant if you are simply creating ID and Secret tokens - feel free to just close the page.
Click this link to open the Developer Framework page again. You will see the app you just created, and can now safely copy the ID and Secret values.
Finally, you need to activate the app you have created for these values to work. Go back to your main idibu account, access Settings, and select Manage plugins and addons' from the drop-down list.
Locate the application you created and click Activate next to it.
Enable the app For all users before clicking the final Activate button.

Your ID and Secret tokens are now set up and active!

Creating your Access token

Sometimes, the systems you integrate with may use idibu functionalities that extend outside the scope of what the App ID and Secret Token authorize. In such cases, they may also require you to generate an Access token for your app.

Access the Developer Framework section again.
Click the Edit button next to your app's name.
At the bottom of the app's settings page, under the Oauth Access Tokens section, click the Generate button.
Copy your token and save it! As per the instructions, you can only see it once, at the moment of creating it.
