Found {{docApp.searchResponse.totalResultsAvailable}} matches. Showing the top {{docApp.searchResponse.results ? docApp.searchResponse.results.length : 0}}. Use a more specific search to further narrow down the results.
No documentation pages match this search, so all content types are shown. Most matches are in {{docApp.searchDocTypeRescue.best.name}}.
There is no book with the ID "{{docApp.searchBookRescue.bid}}", so the book filter from this link was ignored and results from all books are shown.

You have an odd number of " characters in your search terms - each one needs closing with a matching " character!

Operation Information

This is a Premium Integration.

Authentication

This operation requires authentication, the details of which can be securely stored on your instance in a KeySafe Key of type oAuth 2.0.

To create a key of this type:

  • In the Configuration area of your Hornbill instance, navigate to Platform Configuration > Security > KeySafe;
  • Click on the + Create New Key button;
  • On the resulting Create New Key form, choose oAuth 2.0 in the Type pick list;
  • Give the oAuth 2.0 KeySafe key a Title (this is the name / identifier for the oAuth 2.0 account as you will see it when using the cloud automation node in your workflows);
  • Optionally populate the Description field;
  • Populate the following fields accordingly, then click the Create Key button to create your new key:
Name Type Description
Client Id string Application Client Id
Client Secret string Application Client Secret
oAuth Scope string Application oAuth Scope
Authorize URL string Application Authorize URL

Client ID and Client Secret should be populated with a valid Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. Values for the Authorize, Access, Refresh and Revoke URLs can be found on the Salesforce website.

Revoking Access

If at any point you wish to revoke access to any of the above accounts from your Hornbill instance, just delete the relevant KeySafe key(s) from the KeySafe list.

Warning

This will revoke the rights of any existing Cloud Automation Node in your Hornbill Workflows that are using the revoked oAuth 2.0 account, so you will need to manage these workflows accordingly.
