Create an app

Create an app in Zelt to get your Client ID and Client secret, which you’ll need for generating your API token.

To obtain an API token, you first need to create an app inside Zelt:

  1. Sign in to your Zelt admin account
  2. Go to SettingsSecurityDeveloper Hub
  3. Fill in the required fields:
    1. Name: a clear name for your integration (e.g., “HR Sync”, “Internal Tool”).
    2. Description: short explanation of what this app will be used for.
    3. Redirection URI: required since your integration uses OAuth-style redirects.
  4. After you click Generate, a drawer appears showing your App ID, Client ID and Client secret. Use the copy buttons to save these values in a secure place. The client secret is only shown once and cannot be viewed again.
  5. Click Close to finish creating the app
  6. Once the app is created, you will be able to generate an API access token tied to this app
