Cobalt offers both Key Based and OAuth 2.0 integration for Gusto. In this guide, we will look at the OAuth App setup process.

To setup your Gusto app in Cobalt for OAuth, you will need the following credentials from your Gusto Developer account:

  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Scopes

​
Pre-requisites

If you haven’t already created an app in Gusto, you’d need to create one.

Configuring credentials in Cobalt

App settings page lets you configure the authentication settings for an OAuth 2.0 based application. For your customers to provide you authorization to access their data, they would first need to install your application. This page lets you set up your application credentials.

Cobalt lets you use pre-configured applications to play around. You can do so by selecting Use our credentials. However, if you wish to use your own application, select Use your own credentials. Provide the aquired Client Id and Client secret and save it.

To get access to your Production Credentials for Gusto App, you need to submit app for review to Gusto. Learn more about the Review and it’s requirements here.
