Twist credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

• Twist

Prerequisites

• Create a Twist{:target=_blank .external-link} account.
• Create a general integration{:target=_blank .external-link} and configure a valid OAuth Redirect URL. Refer to Using OAuth2 for more information.

Supported authentication methods

• OAuth2

Related resources

Refer to Twist's API documentation{:target=_blank .external-link} for more information about authenticating with the service.

Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• A Client ID: Generated once you create a general integration.
• A Client Secret: Generated once you create a general integration.

To generate your Client ID and Client Secret, create a general integration{:target=_blank .external-link}.

Use these settings for your integration's OAuth Authentication:

• Copy the OAuth Redirect URL from n8n and enter it as the OAuth 2 redirect URL in Twist.

  /// note | OAuth Redirect URL for self-hosted n8n Twist doesn't accept a localhost Redirect URL. The Redirect URL should be a URL in your domain, for example: https://mytemplatemaker.example.com/gr_callback. If your n8n OAuth Redirect URL contains localhost, refer below to Local environment redirect URL for generating a URL that Twist will allow. ///

• Select Update OAuth settings to save those changes.

• Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from Twist and enter them in the appropriate fields in n8n.

Local environment redirect URL

Twist doesn't accept a localhost callback URL. These steps should allow you to configure the OAuth credentials for the local environment:

1. Use ngrok to expose the local server running on port 5678 to the internet. In your terminal, run the following command:

ngrok http 5678

2. Run the following command in a new terminal. Replace <YOUR-NGROK-URL> with the URL that you get from the previous step.

export WEBHOOK_URL=<YOUR-NGROK-URL>

3. Use the generated URL as your OAuth 2 redirect URL in Twist.
