Authorization to other platforms API

Help
1

I would like to send data to another platform using their API.
It requires oAuth2 for authorization.
Would I be able to connect to them using a Losant workflow?

Lars,

Yes, this is possible, but it is something that does involve some complexity.

We do have a GCP Oauth node that should point you in the right direction.

Thank you,

Can I see what makes up the Custom node “GCP Oauth node”?

Lars,

You can add the GCP OAuth Node to your application through the Template Library. After the template has been added, you can then go to your Custom Nodes and click on the GCP OAuth node which will take you to the Custom Node Editor.

Let me know if this works for you.

Thank you,
Heath

So technically it sound like there is a way to create a similar custom node that could handle OAuth2 ?
The Platform in question is EquipID, so any experience you might have there would be very helpful.

Yes, that is correct. The GCP OAuth Custom Node from the Template Library is a great place to get started and understand the OAuth flow better.

I don’t have any resources on EquipID. I’ll do some digging and let you know if I find anything that will be helpful.

Thanks,
Heath

I do have some information. Can I send that to you directly?
