Overview

To authenticate with ModernLoop, you need:
  1. API Key — a ModernLoop API token for your organization.
This guide will show you how to get it.

Prerequisites

  • A ModernLoop account in the organization you want to connect, with access to create API tokens. If you don’t see where to create one, ask your ModernLoop administrator or ModernLoop support.

Step 1: Create an API token

  1. Sign in to ModernLoop and create an API token for your organization.
  2. Grant only the read and write scopes your integration needs. A call that needs a scope the token doesn’t have fails with INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. See Required permissions for the list of scopes.
  3. Copy the token.
The token is scoped to your organization and acts on behalf of the user who created it. See the ModernLoop API docs for details.

Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with ModernLoop.
  2. Enter your token in the API Key field.
  3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
ModernLoop Connect UI form with the API Key field You are now connected to ModernLoop.
