Client ID Client Secret

To access the Lytho API, you'll need to generate an access token using a Client ID and Client Secret. These can be generated within Lytho Workflow by navigating to Account Settings > Open API. 

The Client Secret will only be displayed once after generation. Be sure to store it somewhere safe.

If you misplace your Client Secret, a new one can be generated by selecting Reset Client Secret. Resetting the Client Secret will break any existing integrations that have been established.
