Connect to Outreach.io

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to connect into Outreach.io?

Hi @jburney ,

From a research into the API documentation from Outreach, the authentication is OAuth 2.0 based, so you need to first request that looks like this:

https://api.outreach.io/oauth/authorize?client_id=<Application_Identifier>&redirect_uri=<Application_Redirect_URI>&response_type=code&scope=<Scope1+Scope2+Scope3>

That and other calls, you can do by using the download tool.

Then, you will receive a response that looks like this:   

{
  "access_token": <Access_Token>,
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "expires_in": 7200,
  "refresh_token": <Refresh_Token>,
  "scope": <Scope1+Scope2+Scope3>,
  "created_at": 1503301100
}

That is your access token for the next request that will look like this:

curl https://api.outreach.io/api/v2 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <Access_Token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json"

I'm attaching an example of how to build something like that in Alteryx. Be aware that, from the documentation, you need to contact platform@outreach.io for assistance. (Since I don't have access to the platform, I'm not sure where you can create your client_id and your client_secret.

Let me know if that works for you and keep in mind that all the information to build the workflow was taken from https://api.outreach.io/api/v2/docs

Best,
