OAuth V2
Choose OAuth v2 in the Auth Type and configure the 3 steps shown below it.
Auth Request
If you need to send the auth inputs to get more information, use Auth Request.
For example, some third-party service providers require users to provide their username and password. And with these 2 values, they generate a token for later communication in a few hours.
In this case, you can gather username and password in auth inputs and send the token request in Auth Request.
Configure the external request and click on Test, you will see the data you need in the response area. Select the token and map it back to the app by clicking the Add button. Click Save to save your auth request:
