Connecting to CampaignMonitor

To authenticate to CampaignMonitor, you can use either Token authentication or the OAuth standard. Use Token to connect to your own data. Use OAuth to allow other users to connect to their data.

Using Token Authentication

To use Token Authentication, set the API Key to your CampaignMonitor API Key in the ProfileSettings connection property.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\CampaignMonitor.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=my_api_key';

Using OAuth Authentication

First you need to register an OAuth app with CampaignMonitor. To do this, log into your Campaign Monitor account, click App store in the top navigation (you may need to select a client first to see the option), then select OAuth Registration in the right sidebar. From there you will be asked for a few details to register your OAuth app.

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

• AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
• OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client Id of your app.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the Client Secret of your app.
• CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified when applied for an app with CampaignMonitor.
• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\CampaignMonitor.apip;Authscheme=OAuth;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;
