    Hi There - Ship Bob has a sandbox environment that uses a more basic token integration. It would be great for this connector to have a Product or Sandbox checkbox and allow the sandbox version to use a token instead of OAuth.  We've been working a project with ShipBob and it's very difficult to test in their prod system.

    Thanks, David Gollom. I'll put that request into the queue and share your feedback with the product manager and lead connections developer.
