Fortnox connection
To use Fortnox actions in Profitbase Flow, you need to select an existing connection or create a new one.
The connection authorizes Flow to interact with the Fortnox REST API on your behalf. It requires authentication credentials issued for your registered client application.
Connection properties
A Fortnox connection consists of the following fields:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Connection Name | A user-defined name for this connection. |
| Client ID | A unique identifier for your application registered with Fortnox. |
| Client Secret | A confidential string used for authenticating your client app. |
| Tenant ID | The identifier of the Tenant (database ID). |
| Scope | Select one or more scopes for use in requests. |
Note
A Dynamic Connection can be used to override the default connection during flow execution.
This is useful when connecting to different subscriptions programmatically or pulling credentials from external sources at runtime.
