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](http://dexi.io)) but I am just struggling so much with Mautic.

Hope someone can help!  
Api files: [https://developer.mautic.org/#rest-api](https://developer.mautic.org/#rest-api)

thanks in advance.  
Tony

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!
