KanBo and Microsoft Power Automate Integration: Activation

Table of Contents

This post is also available in: Deutsch

Prerequisites

First off, the account You are using for this installation not only needs to be added to KanBo, but the actions performed by Power Automate will be seen as if they have been done by this user in KanBo.

You also need:

A JSON Manifest for KanBo API
Client ID and Client Secret for the custom connector
A “powerautomate.authkanbo.com” URL with an unique issuer

You should have received both of those from our support email support@kanboapp.com

Activation

Visit make.powerautomate.com
On the left panel, click on “Custom connectors”

If the option does not appear, click on More -> Discover all and You can find Custom connectors under the “Data” tab

Click on “Import an OpenAPI file”

On the first page, optionally (but recommended), upload an image and change the background color

Click on “Security” in the bottom right corner
In the Security page insert the Client ID and the Client Secret that were sent to You.
Copy the Token URL into the Refresh URL
It is VERY IMPORTANT that You copy the Redirect URL present on the bottom and send it to us at support@kanboapp.com

Make sure to replace every ISSUER with an unique issuer we have sent You in the confirmation email
After that, click on “Create connector” on the top”
Now, we at KanBo need to make changes to our Power Automate broker with the Custom Connector Redirect URL that You have sent us. We will inform You when the changes are done, after which You can proceed with the activation.
Last thing to do is to create a connection in Power Automate to KanBo. To do that, create a simple manual flow by clicking on Create -> Instant cloud flow -> Manually trigger a flow
