Linking to Mautic

Ask a question
1

Hi All,
Could someone please help me to understand what I need to enter in the api information to link to Mautic?
I keep getting to the authorize stage but then constantly get either a 400 error or a 302 error.
I am just unsure of how to set this up in Parabola.
I can connect to my first api(dexi.io) but I am just struggling so much with Mautic.

Hope someone can help!

thanks in advance.

Hey Tony!

Are you able to enable and use Basic Auth?

basic authentication can be enabled through Mautic’s Configuration → API Settings

Then you just need to use the “Username and Password” auth type in Parabola, which will be much easier than using OAuth 2.

Hi Brian,
I have tried this in every possible combination that I can think of. I have tried it with Username and Password, I have tried it without and by adding headers for Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA== , like Mautic documentation suggests.

To authorize a request for basic authentication, set an Authorization header.

  1. Combine the username and password of a Mautic user with a colon : . For example, user:password .
  2. Base64 encode the string from above. dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA== .
  3. Add an Authorization header to each API request as Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA==
    Replacing the Base64 with my username and password, encoded.
    I have tried it with Username and Password and the header, but I get nowhere with it. I can be done with Zapier, so I must be able to do it in Parabola!!!

Best wishes
Tony

So
I got this kind of working. It seems that I had to delete the flow and start again, don’t really know why.
It connects to Mautic, but now all I get is a different error when i run the flow:

{
“errors”: [
{
“code”: 404,
“message”: “Looks like I encountered an error (error #404). If I do it again, please report me to the system administrator!”,
“type”: null
}
]
}

Hi Tony - It looks like your flow has run successfully since you encountered this error. Were you able to resolve the issue? Let me know if you’re still encountering this problem!
