Connection

Smartsheet on Hire2Retire uses two types of connections, API Key and OAuth.

An API key is a unique access credential provided to developers who intend to utilize the Smartsheet API (Application Programming Interface). This key serves as a mechanism to authenticate and authorize the developer's access to Smartsheet's services and data. By incorporating this API key into their API requests, developers establish their identity and gain permission to leverage the functionalities and features offered by the Smartsheet API.

OAuth (Open Authorization) is a secure and widely-used authorization framework that allows third-party applications to access a user's data on a platform without exposing the user's credentials, such as username and password. In the context of Smartsheet, OAuth is utilized to grant external applications limited access to a user's Smartsheet account and data.

Please refer to the document Authentication and Access Tokens to know more about API Key and OAuth in Smartsheet.

We at RoboMQ pay utmost attention to keep your account secure. See our Security and Privacy Policies to learn more about how RoboMQ handles your account access.
