Step-by-Step Guide: Obtaining Your Client ID and Client Secret

For most applications, you can establish a connection by creating your own application. However, you need to create your own token to connect to some apps. Instructions on how to do this are available here

This article serves as a general guide for creating your application: creating Client ID and Client secret + where to find the redirect URL and other useful information.

For most applications, you need to create your own application to establish integration. In this article, you will learn how to create a connection (example – ClickUp). You may come across things that will be different when creating an app, but the basic process remains the same.
