Aircall

Prerequisites​

Before creating an Aircall credential in Nexla, you need to obtain your API ID and API token from your Aircall Company Settings. These credentials authenticate Nexla with the Aircall Public API and should be kept secure.

Obtain Aircall API Credentials​

  1. Sign in to your Aircall account.

  2. Navigate to Company Settings in your Aircall account to access the company settings page.

  3. Locate the API section in the Company Settings menu. This section contains your API credentials for accessing the Aircall Public API.

  4. Copy your API ID. This is a unique identifier that authenticates API requests and provides access to your Aircall account. The API ID is used as the username for basic authentication.

  5. Copy your API Token. This is a secret token that authenticates API requests and provides access to your Aircall account data. The API token is used as the password for basic authentication.

    Your API ID and API Token are required for all Aircall API operations. Keep these credentials secure and do not share them publicly or commit them to version control systems. For detailed information about Aircall API authentication, see the Aircall API documentation.

Create an Aircall Credential​

  • To create a new Aircall credential, after selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

Authentication Configuration​

  1. Enter your Aircall API ID in the API ID field. This should be the API ID obtained from your Aircall Company Settings. The API ID is used as the username for basic authentication.

  2. Enter your Aircall API Token in the API Token field. This token authenticates Nexla with the Aircall Public API and should match the API token obtained from your Aircall Company Settings. The API token is used as the password for basic authentication.

    The API ID and API Token provide full access to your Aircall account data through the API. Keep these credentials secure and do not share them publicly or commit them to version control systems. Aircall uses basic authentication with the API ID and token, which allows Nexla to make authenticated requests to your account.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
