OAuth Nodes

OAuth Nodes are a new addition to the BuildShip Node Library, designed to seamlessly integrate with various services through OAuth authentication.

These nodes simplify the integration process by enabling connections with our favorite integrations without the need for additional setup involving API Keys or IDs.

Key Features

• One-Click Integration: Easily connect with selected integrations with a single click.

• No Additional Configuration: Avoid the hassle of managing API Keys or IDs.

• User-Friendly Interface: Recognizable by the Fingerprint Icon situated on the top right corner of the node, enabling authentication.

Authenticating with OAuth Nodes

OAuth Nodes feature a Fingerprint Icon initially highlighted in red, indicating a lack of authentication to any specific account.

Managing Accounts

Switching/Addition of Accounts

After a successful login, users can switch to or add a different account for the same integration using the following steps:

• Click the Fingerprint Icon to access the menu.

• Select the "Add an Account" option to initiate authentication for a new account.

• Easily switch between accounts by selecting the desired account from the menu.

Removing Accounts / Logging Out

• Click the Fingerprint Icon to open the authentication menu.
• Select the specific account to log out from.
• Click the "Log Out" button.

OAuth Nodes Mechanism

Unlike the regular integration nodes which require you to provide an API Key, the OAuth Nodes redirect you to the OAuth provider’s authorization endpoint.

After account is successfully logged in and the request for the permissions is approved, the authorization code is exchanged for an Access Token. This Access Token substitutes for the API Keys.
