Registration

Steps

  1. Get the codes from IT support (Dirk Maesen from Trust Team, or Koen at +32 55 755 755). They need to register an App on our user and send us client id and client secret. Ask them for the redirect_url = "https://powerpartners.pro"

  2. In your browser, logged in to Exact as pwr@powerpartners.pro, paste the authorization request in the browser: https://start.exactonline.be/api/oauth2/auth?client_id=80b6fa97-3da7-46d9-9332-8b2d298b76df&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fpowerpartners.pro%2F&response_type=code&force_login=0

  3. There will be a authorization window. Accept.

  4. You will be re-directed to https://powerpartners.pro. From the response, copy the code from the URL displayed in the address bar of the browser. Replace %21 with !

  5. Get an access token within 3 minutes.
