Zendesk is deprecating the option to authenticate via API token. Therefore, babelforce added the option to authenticate via OAuth Client. This article explains how to set it up.
Zendesk part:
To register babelforce in your Zendesk account, you can follow this article or the steps described below.
- Go to the Zendesk admin center and then go to "Apps and integrations" > "OAuth clients"
- Click to add a new OAuth Client
- Enter a title and description, in the example below, we used the name "babelforce":
- Choose an identifier and the client kind "Confidential"
- The redircet URL should look like this: https://{{env}}.babelforce.com/oauth2/callback
- Copy the secret - you need it for the setup in babelforce
babelforce part:
- Go to "Automations" > " Apps(Integrations)
- Open your existing Zendesk integration or add a new one by clicking on the "Add" button
- At the bottom, fill out the fields as follows:
- "Client ID": the value you entered for "Identifier" on Zendesk side
- "Client secret": enter the secret you stored before
- OAuth scope: "read write"
- Click "Save", then reopen and click "Authorize" and follow the authorization flow
- To ensure you're successfully authenticated, click "test" in the integrations overview page - you should see a green success message popping up:
