OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Outreach using the browser. The driver facilitates this in various ways as described below.

Embedded Credentials

Use Embedded Credentials to connect with the driver's embedded credentials and skip creating a custom OAuth app.

Custom Credentials

To authenticate with your own custom OAuth app, you must supply the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.

Web Applications

You need to create an OAuth app to use in the web flow. See Creating a Custom OAuth App for the procedure.

Desktop Applications

These credentials are displayed upon completion of the OAuth app creation process. See Creating a Custom OAuth App for the procedure.

Headless Machines

In the headless OAuth flow, users need to authenticate via a browser on another machine. You need to create a custom OAuth app. See Creating a Custom OAuth App for the procedure.
