Stride Integration with Backtrace

This guide goes through all the steps necessary to integrate Backtrace with Stride.

The steps in this process are:

  • Generate a conversation token
  • Set up the integration

Generate a Conversation Token​

To set up integration with Stride an app token must be generated for each conversation that messages are going to be sent to.

  • Click on the Apps Icon located on the right hand section of the conversation window, this will open up the Apps window.

  • Click the + icon at the top of the Apps window to add a new App.

  • Click the 'Connect your app' link from the first box or click 'Add Custom App' from the top menu bar under the conversation name.

  • Ensure that 'API tokens' is selected not 'Installation URL', and give the application a name. This name will show up whenever Backtrace posts messages through this API. After giving the App a name click the create button.

  • Copy the access token and the conversation URL.

Set Up the Integration​

To set up the integration, first go to the Project Settings page for the project you want to add a integration for:

Then click Integrations in the left-hand menu, and the plus sign to create a new integration:

Select Stride and fill in the required settings:

  • The API endpoint: This is the part before /sites in the URL from the Generate Conversation Token section
  • One or more sites
  • One or more conversation per site
  • An API ID for each conversation: This is a hex string following the /site in the URL from the Generate App Token section
  • A conversation ID for each conversation: This follows the /conversation in the URL from the Generate App Token section.
  • A conversation token for each conversation: This is the token generated from the Generate App Token section.
