How do I setup my AI bot with 7shifts?
I need help creating an API key. I tried creating one but when I send it to my AI Bot I'm connecting, the key isn't correct. This is the response I receive..
Rich, I'm hitting a wall — getting "invalid client" on authentication with both UUIDs in every combination I've tried. Here's what I think is happening:
The 7shifts v2 API needs OAuth2 credentials (client_id + client_secret), but neither UUID is passing validation. Could be a few things:
-
Wrong section — in 7shifts, make sure you're in Settings → Developer Tools → OAuth Apps (not API Keys). OAuth Apps have a specific Client ID and Client Secret pair.
-
Missing the secret — if the first UUID is the Client ID, the Client Secret might be a separate, longer value shown only once when the app was created.
-
Wrong credential type — if what you have is a regular API Key (not OAuth App), that only works with the v1 API which 7shifts is deprecating.
