What is OAuth2?
OAuth2 is an industry-standard security protocol that enables applications to access each other's data while protecting your credentials. Instead of sharing your password, OAuth2 uses secure tokens to verify your identity and manage access permissions.
Benefits of using OAuth2
Enhanced security: Your login credentials are never shared with third-party applications
Easy revocation: You can revoke access at any time without changing your password
How OAuth2 works with Upfirst and Zapier
When you click "Connect Upfirst" in Zapier, you'll be redirected to Upfirst's secure authorization page
After reviewing the connection request, click "Authorize" to approve
Upfirst will generate a secure token that Zapier can use to access your account
You'll be redirected back to Zapier to complete the integration
Security measures
Upfirst implements OAuth2 using industry best practices:
All communication is encrypted using HTTPS
You can monitor and revoke access through your Upfirst dashboard at any time
Tokens have limited scope and can only access the features you've authorized
