Create credentials in the platform to allow the integration to authenticate itself and access the required resources, facilitating the smooth exchange of data and information between external applications. By creating credentials specific to integration, you can control and limit the actions that the platform can perform with the external system.

Rest assured, when it comes to security concerns, creating credentials in the Backflipt platform provides a reliable solution for managing sensitive information. Backflipt platform ensures that sensitive information, such as API keys, tokens, or passwords, can be securely managed. The credentials are stored securely within the platform, preventing unauthorized access, and reducing the risk of exposing confidential data.

Simply follow these steps to establish and maintain authentication credentials within the Backflipt platform and start using them in your flows.

1. Create New Credentials: When creating a credential, provide a name or label for the credential to help identify it later.
2.  Select Authentication Type: For selecting authentication type, choose the appropriate authentication type for your integration. Depending on the integration, you have options such as basic authentication, OAuth 2.0, API key, or other custom authentication methods.
3. Enter Authentication Details: Fill in the required authentication details based on the selected authentication type. This may include fields for credentials like username, password, client ID, client secret, API key, or any other information specific to the authentication method.
4. Configure Additional Settings: Depending on the integration, you might have additional settings or options to configure for the credential. This can include scopes, permissions, or other advanced settings related to the authentication process.
5. Save and Test: Once you have entered all the necessary information and saved the credentials, you can use it in a flow.
6. Use the Credential in Flows: With the credential created, you can now use it within your flows. When configuring an integration or service that requires authentication, select the appropriate credential from the available options.
