Passing Body Content in Post Snap
Hi,
This is a very novice question, but I am having trouble with a post request snap. This is just to authenticate with the RingCentral platform to receive a token for API consumption. I am able to...

I see that you have the extension specified in postman, is that required for your particular instance? If not, you can just use the OAuth2 Account within the REST snap pack as it has a grant type of password that you can use. It seems the only missing item at that point would be the ability to get the endpoint_id back from the request, if that’s an important step, it might be worth looking into the authorization_code flow in their documentation as that seems to not require the additional parameters in the body of the password grant flow. Again, this can be achieved with the REST OAuth2 Account. It also looks like they provide an OpenAPI specification, so you could use the appropriate account type for the Open API Snap to potentially achieve the same thing, assuming you’re able to get it working in the REST OAuth2 Account
Thanks for your response. That entry is actually not selected. The extension can be concatenated to the username( a phone number in this case) and passed with the username at that point. That is what I am currently doing in that snapshot you see above.
I am trying to get an OAuth2 account working in this case. The app in Ring Central does not provide a redirect URL, which if I understand correctly, rules out the option of authorization_code flow. I am trying to get it to authorize using the password flow but I get an error string in a new tab. See below.
{“response_map”: {“error_list”: [{“message”: “Request from platform.devtest.ringcentral.com returned an error (response code: 400, response: {\n "error" : "invalid_client",\n "errors" : [ {\n "errorCode" : "OAU-123",\n "message" : "Client authentication is required"\n } ],\n "error_description" : "Client authentication is required"\n})”}]}, “http_status_code”: 500}
Do you know what I might be missing? Again please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area.
redirect_uri is what is provided for SnapLogic to respond, in this case, it would likely be (in the rest account) https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/rest which redirects back to the base url for snaplogic to complete the next step of the auth. If you move to openAPI, you’ll replace
restwithopenapi. The REST OAuth2 Account documentation has it right at the top under Account Settings, it’s quite a bit confusing here because in this case you may not know what a POD is.So if I understand you correctly, it sounds like there really should have been a place on the RingCentral side to add a redirect url? I did check several times because I expected there to be one as well, but never saw an option to enter a redirect url.
