GSX Integration Onboarding for Weevio Notifier & Scheduler
Overview
Apple uses a complex and highly secure authentication system for their APIs. This system requires the exchanging of authentication tokens throughout the process of making API calls. Failure to provide the most recent token during an API call invalidates the existing valid token for that user's Apple ID account. As a result, a dedicated Apple ID must be set up for use with our apps.
1) Set Up a Dedicated GSX API Account
You will need to set up a GSX User account in MyAccess that is dedicated to managing appointments in our apps. This account should be used for our apps only and nothing else. Follow the instructions in Giving GSX Users API Privileges in MyAccess to provide the appropriate privileges to the account.
Once you have the user set up, you will need to obtain an API token for that account by visiting https://login-partner-connect.apple.com.
2) Obtain a Tech ID for your Dedicated GSX API Account
Even though we are not using the Tech ID of the API User that you set up for use with our apps, Apple requires that the API user still has a Tech ID. Please log in to certifications.apple.com with your API User to obtain a Tech ID for that user.
3) Turn on Two-Step Verification for your Dedicated GSX API Account
Be sure to visit appleid.apple.com, log in with the API User that you set up in the above steps and click on Account Security to configure two-step verification. Two-step verification is required by Apple. Failure to turn this on will result in Apple blocking your API User from GSX access.
4) Complete our Weevio Notifier & Scheduler Onboarding Form
Regardless of whether you have a GSX Certificate, we need everyone to complete this form which will either provide us with your existing GSX Certificate or will let us know that we need to begin the onboarding process to obtain a GSX Certificate for your company.
