In the next page, you need to fill in your app details. Here, it’s important to add your Softr domain to the Authorized Domains. To do that, you need to click Add Domain under the corresponding section and fill in your domain as shown below.
If your Softr app is on a Softr subdomain (e.g. john.softr.app), then you need to add “softr.app” as the authorized domain. If you’ve connected a custom domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), just add your domain as it is.
Authorized domain setup
In the next steps, you can define Scopes, add Test Users, and finalize the setup. As soon as you’re, done, click Back to Dashboard at the bottom of the screen. Now, let’s proceed to creating the credentials to connect your app from Softr.
