Preparing for authentication

To access your data, you need to authenticate the connection with your account credentials.

Make sure that the account you use has read access to the tables you want to fetch.

To obtain your client ID and secret:

Log into your Mailchimp account.
Either:
- Create a new app. The client ID and secret are displayed when the app is created.
  As the client secret is displayed only once, copy and paste it to a secured file.
- Edit an existing app and click Rotate to generate a new client secret.
Make sure Authorized Redirect URIs is set to https://connector.qlik.com/auth/oauth/v3.htm.
Each OAuth app can only have one redirect URI.

Use a unique set of client id and client secret to authenticate each of your connections. Otherwise, your tasks associated with your older connections will fail.

Creating the connection
