Connections

OAuth 2.0

To connect to GitHub you will need to create a new OAuth 2.0 application.
Fill in the required fields and supply the callback URL as the Authorization callback URL: https://oauth2.flowbuilder.eu.lansweeper.com/callback for EU sites or https://oauth2.flowbuilder.us.lansweeper.com/callback for US sites

Next click "Generate a new client secret" and copy the values of both the Client ID and Client Secret.

You are now ready to create the OAuth 2.0 connection to GitHub:

• Enter the Client ID and Client Secret values into the same named fields.
• Determine what scopes your use case requires and add those to Scopes separating each with a space.

Save your integration and you should now be able to connect and authenticate to GitHub.

This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations.
Read about how OAuth 2.0 works here.
