Antes de empezar

  • Ensure that you are using a user role that has the Manage connections permission enabled for the OAuth Connections feature. See Características de permisos para un rol.
  • Ensure that you have configured an enterprise application and made a note of the Client ID, Client secret, Authorization URL, Token URL, and scope. See Configurar aplicaciones empresariales
    Nota: Consider the above prerequisites to avoid a connection error.
    Tabla 1. Common provider informationThe following table provides the format of the Authorization URL, Token URL, and scope for the supported enterprise applications:
    Enterprise applications Authorization URL Token URL Scope
    Apigee https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?prompt=consent&access_type=offline https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
    Genesys https://login.<yourinstance>.pure.cloud/oauth/authorize https://login.<yourinstance>.pure.cloud/oauth/token Not required
    Microsoft Entra https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>/oauth2/v2.0/token Authorization code Flow: offline_access, openid
    OR
    Client credential flow: https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
    Salesforce https://<yourinstance>.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize https://<yourinstance>.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token api,refresh_token,offline_access
    ServiceNow https://<yourinstance>.service-now.com/oauth_auth.do https://<yourinstance>.service-now.com/oauth_token.do Not required
    SharePoint https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/token https://<domain-name>/AllSites.Manage, offline_access, openid
    Nota: The OpenID scope is required only when your apps require the sub claim in the ID token to identify the end-user. Otherwise, this scope is optional.
    Google Workspace (Calendar, Drive, Sheets and Gmail) https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?prompt=consent&access_type=offline https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
    • Google Sheets: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets
    • Google Drive: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
    • Google Calendar: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar
    • Gmail : https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/scopes#gmail
      • https://mail.google.com/,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send
Nota: We recommend that you use refresh tokens that are configured for a longer expiry duration. See Utilice la aplicación AuthConfig para habilitar los servicios OAuth2.

Procedimiento

  6. Click Next.
    The Authentication details screen appears.
  7. Select a Grant type. See ‌OAuth authorization code flow and ‌OAuth client credentials flow.
    Nota: If you are configuring for a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account, select Authorization Code Flow because Control Room managed OAuth connection using Authorization code flow with PKCE is currently not supported.
  8. Enter the Client ID that is provided by the provider for your account.
  9. Enter the Client secret that is provided by the provider for your account.
  10. Enter the Authorization URL used to obtain an authorization code for your account.
    Nota: For Apigee or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account, you must append &access_type=offline to the authorization URL. For example: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?prompt=consent&access_type=offline.
  11. Enter the Token URL used to exchange an authorization code for an access token.
  12. Opcional: Enter Scope.
    Image displaying the OAuth authentication details page
    This information is used as claims (information about the user) in an access token and forwarded to the resource server to limit access.
    Nota: If you are adding more than one scope, ensure that you separate the scopes using commas or space separated delimiter.
  13. Click Next.
    The Test connection and save credentials screen appears.
  14. Opcional: Select the Save login credentials.
    Nota: Use this option only when you want to generate a shared token that allows users to use this connection without providing user authentication and consent. When you select this option, you must select the Shared token type option when using this connection. See Configurar conexiones ‌OAuth en la Control Room.
  15. Opcional: Click Save changes and test connection.
    Image displaying the OAuth test connection and save credentials page
    Nota: After you click the Save changes and test connection option and if the connection is successful, the Next button is disabled. Click the Back button, enter the Client secret again, and then click Next. You need not test the connection again unless you have made any changes to the previously provided authentication details.
  16. Click Next.
    The Invite roles screen appears.
  17. Select the roles that you want to invite to use this connection. Only invited roles can use the token in a bot, whether it is private or shared.Image displaying the OAuth invite roles page

    Invite roles action is mandatory if a Bot uses the OAuth connection. This action is optional if an external service will use the OAuth connection.

    Nota: Only custom roles are displayed in the list of Available roles.
  18. Click Create connection. An ‌OAuth connection is created.
