I’m using FreeAgent and building Apps for a client who we work for.
My intention is to use Make.com to create invoices from our client’s CRM (BIGIN) using Make.
I’ve signed up for a FreeAgent sandbox account completing all the setup stages as directed within this article.
I’ve now got my OAuth credentials having created a new app. In Make, I’ve added a new FreeAgent module (create contact) and tried making a connection. The Make Login dialog has then asked for my login details which I’ve then entered (using those from the sandbox account above).
This throws an error saying ‘The email and password you entered were incorrect’.
When initiating authorising the app in Google OAuth playground, I don’t get an error about username and password, but I do get an error stating the redirect URI is invalid for this app.
We’ve taken a look at this, and we think it might be that you haven’t registered the redirect_uri that you’re using to compose the authorisation request. You can register the redirect_uri in the developer dashboard, as indicated in our documentation, by going to the developer dashboard > My Apps > Edit App
I hope that helps, but please let us know if you’re still experiencing issues.
I’m using Make to create my intergration. I appreciate this platform is not within your control but wonder if I’m using the wrong credentials or I’ve missed out a step somewhere I can’t see.
Anyway, if you’re aware of how that works, I’ve got one of their ‘get a contact’ modules which starts by asking you to create a connnection. This requires the OAuth ID and Secret.
I’ve got my credentials from the FreeAgent developer dashboard and by following the Make tutorial for FreeAgent have entered credentials and pressed Save.
This is the point where I struggle. I’ve put in my log in details (as I use for my FreeAgent developer account and cannot get beyond this page. Despite knowing (and checking/and changing) passwords multiple times I cannot get the OAuth login screen to accept my login details. It just says they’re wrong.
I have no idea what’s not working here. Your help would be appreciated.
Do you mean I need to copy something from Google OAuth Playground back to my app in the FreeAgent’s Developer Dashboard to go in the redirect URI section of the app?
If so, what parameter is it? Authorization endpoint or Token endpoint? I can’t see anything else that could be right before I need to ‘Select and Authorise’ (which is what brings up the box to login to FreeAgent - my previous post to @Katie_FA).
However, I’m also trying to debug this using ChatGPT’s Make.com GPT.
It all comes down to the point of authorising the connection. Each time I get told the username or password are incorrect, however, I’ve checked and changed the login credentials to my FreeAgent sandbox account and I’ve tried it in incognito too but I still can’t get it to authorise.
As I’m doing this for someone else, they’ve not shared their FreeAgent account details with me so my plan has been to create a sandbox account and implement what I needed there before porting it over to their account.
But, ChatGPT has said I need to have a live FreeAgent account (plus the sandbox account if necessary) before authorisation will take place. So, my client is coming in tomorrow and I’ll have to sit them down next to me, log in using their credentials and create a new developer dashboard account and app. Then I should be able to connect to FreeAgent from Make and then I can hopefully develop the automation in Make when they’re not there.
