A. Set up a Concur Expense connection

Start establishing a connection to Concur Expense in either of the following ways:

• From the Resources menu, select Connections. Then, click + Create connection at the top right.
      – or –
• While working in a new or existing integration, you can add an application to a flow simply by clicking Add source or Add destination.

In the resulting Application list, select Concur Expense.

The Create connection panel opens with the required and advanced settings.

B. Provide required Concur Expense application details

At this point, you’re presented with options for providing Concur Expense authentication.

Name (required): Provide a clear and distinguishable name. Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection, and a unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting among a list of connections that you’ve created.

Application (required, non-editable): A reminder of the app you’re editing. 

Username (required): Enter the id portion of the query string displayed when you began installing a Concur Expense template. (Do not enter the Concur username in this field; the connection will not succeed with your regular account username and password.)

Password (required): Enter the requestToken= portion of the query string displayed when you began installing a Concur Expense template. (Do not enter the Concur password in this field; the connection will not succeed with your regular account username and password.) Multiple layers of protection are in place, including AES 256 encryption, to keep your connection’s password safe. When editing this form later, you must enter this token again; it is stored only for a saved connection. 

Generate token (required): Click Generate token to have integrator.io fill in an encrypted access token.
