Fill out client_id, client_secret, and public_key in Postman

Go to the API Keys in the Rutter dashboard. Copy and paste the following values from Rutter into Postman. Paste the values into both the INITIAL VALUE and the CURRENT VALUE fields in Postman.

  1. client_id
  2. client_secret (the variable in Postman is called secret)
  3. public_key

Go to the Connections tab. Click on the three dots on the righthand side of the connection you wish to test and select "Copy Access Token". Then, paste that into the access_token field in the Postman environment. Be sure to paste into both the INITIAL VALUE and the CURRENT VALUE fields in Postman.


Save Your Configuration

Now that you've entered all necessary environment variables, remember to save your changes. Ensure both the INITIAL VALUE and the CURRENT VALUE fields are populated and match for client_id, secret, public_key, and access_token.
