As Moveworks has integrated with Quip Knowledge, we would need the following details to connect our services with your Quip instance. Our systems fetch the knowledge articles stored in your system and serve the user with relevant answers.

Setup

To authenticate the API calls to Quip, we use the recommended OAuth mechanism summarized in the diagram below:

This will require the creation of a Service Account that has access to the documents present within your Quip instance as well as the creation of a New API Key for Client Credentials.

After following through this setup, you will need to provide the following to Moveworks:

• OAuth Client Credentials
  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
• Service Account Credentials
  • Username
  • Password

How to generate the Client Credentials?

In order to get secure access to your instance using the available APIs, we will follow the authentication method that is used by Quip.

Note: Only a Quip admin can create an API key.

1. Log in to the Quip Admin Console.
2. Click Settings, then Integrations.
3. Click New API Key.
4. Name your API key and enable the User Read permission scope
5. Copy the client ID and client secret and store it in a safe storage

Creating the Connector

With all the required details collected, we can now configure the connector to interact with your Quip Instance.

• Go to the Connectors module in Moveworks Setup, by clicking on Manage Connectors under Core Platform, and then click on System Connectors.
• Click on Create New in the top right corner.
• Search for the Quip System here

• Start by providing the the Quip URL, and the API Key we just generated along side the Username and Password for the Service Account.

You can now go ahead and save the config and start using this Connector across Setup.
