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.

Provide the acquired Client ID and Client Secret under Settings of the app and save it.

​

Configuring Scopes

Cobalt lets you configure what permissions to ask from your users while they install your application. The scopes can be added or removed from the App settings page, under Permissions & Scopes section.

For some applications Cobalt sets mandatory scopes which cannot be removed. Additional scopes can be selected from the drop down. Cobalt also has the provision to add any custom scopes supported by the respective platform.

Once the scopes has been added to the application in Cobalt, go to your Outreach Developer account and update the scopes as added on Cobalt.

Select the OAuth App created for Cobalt > Click on API Access(OAuth) under App features > Add the scopes under API Scopes as added in Cobalt > Click on Save.

​

Getting Production Credentials of App

For each Outreach app, the development and production credentials are generated separately.

Production credentials are provisioned after the app goes through the publishing process of Outreach and eventually a review.

Actions and triggers

Once the above setup is completed, you can create orchestrations of your use-cases using Outreach actions and triggers. Following are the set of Outreach actions and triggers supported by Cobalt.
