# Formstack Trigger credentials
You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:
- [Formstack Trigger](/integrations/builtin/trigger-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.formstacktrigger/)
## Prerequisites
Create a [Formstack](https://www.formstack.com/){:target=_blank .external-link} account.
## Supported authentication methods
- API access token
- OAuth2
## Related resources
Refer to [Formstack's API documentation](https://developers.formstack.com/reference/api-overview){:target=_blank .external-link} for more information about the service.
## Using API access token
To configure this credential, you'll need:
- An API **Access Token**: To generate an Access Token, [create a new application](https://www.formstack.com/admin/apiKey/main){:target=_blank .external-link} in Formstack using the following details:
* **Redirect URI**: For cloud n8n instances, enter `https://oauth.n8n.cloud/oauth2/callback`.
- For self-hosted n8n instances, enter the OAuth callback URL for your n8n instance in the format `https://<n8n_url>/rest/oauth2-credential/callback`. For example `https://localhost:5678/rest/oauth2-credential/callback`.
* **Platform**: Select **Website**.
Once you've created the application, copy the access token either from the applications list or by selecting the application to view its details.
Refer to [Formstack's API Authorization documentation](https://developers.formstack.com/reference/api-overview#obtaining-an-api-key-oauth2-access-token){:target=_blank .external-link} for more detailed instructions.
/// note | Access token permissions
Access tokens are tied to a Formstack user and follow Formstack (in-app) user permissions.

## Using OAuth2
To configure this credential, you'll need:
- A **Client ID**
- A **Client Secret**
To generate both of these, [create a new application](https://www.formstack.com/admin/apiKey/main){:target=_blank .external-link} in Formstack using the following details:
- **Redirect URI**: Copy the **OAuth Redirect URL** from the n8n credential to enter here.
- For self-hosted n8n instances, enter the OAuth callback URL for your n8n instance in the format `https://<n8n_url>/rest/oauth2-credential/callback`. For example `https://localhost:5678/rest/oauth2-credential/callback`.
- **Platform**: Select **Website**.
Once you've created the application, select it from the applications list to view the **Application Details**. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** and add them to n8n. Once you've added both, select the **Connect my account** button to initiate the OAuth2 flow and authorization process.
Refer to [Formstack's API Authorization documentation](https://developers.formstack.com/reference/api-overview#obtaining-an-api-key-oauth2-access-token){:target=_blank .external-link} for more detailed instructions.
