Design help Data API

Hi there,

I am trying to follow the “register new application” steps in Webflow.

There is a field Redirect URI that must be filled.

Any idea what it supposes to refer to? How it should look like?

Thanks.

Same issue here. Found nothing about it… do you solve the problem in the meantime? Thanks

Modern web app integration today is often done using OAuth2. If you look up OAuth2 auth flow, you’ll find a detailed explanation of how that handshaking occurs.

Loosely speaking, when you’re in App X and ask to connect it to your Webflow account, there’s an authentication process in which…

  • Webflow presents a login screen
  • User logs in as an authorized Webflow user
  • Webflow authenticates them, determines the access they want to give the requesting app, and then it generates and returns the appropriate access tokens
  • Webflow then redirect the user back to the original app, to e.g. a “Integration successful” page.

That’s what this redirect URI is for.
