Bexio

Prerequisites​

Before creating a Bexio credential, you need to obtain a personal API token from your Bexio account. The API token is required to authenticate with the Bexio API.

Personal API tokens can be created by super admin users directly in Bexio by visiting https://office.bexio.com/index.php/admin/apiTokens. You must have super admin privileges in your Bexio account to create API tokens. Once created, the API token is used to authenticate all API requests to the Bexio API using Bearer token authentication. For detailed information about API token setup and authentication, refer to the Bexio API documentation.

  • To create a new Bexio 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.

API Token Authentication​

  1. Enter your Bexio API token in the API Token Value field. This is the personal API token you created in your Bexio account. The API token is sent in the Authorization header as a Bearer token to authenticate all API requests to the Bexio API.

    Keep your API token secure and do not share it publicly. The API token provides access to your Bexio account and should be treated as a sensitive credential. Only super admin users can create API tokens in Bexio.

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.
