Zendesk Oauth server

Zendesk OAuth applications need an OAuth token for authorization. For the following instructions, it is assumed that an OAuth app has already been created. For instructions how to create one, see Zendesk's Using OAuth authentication with your application.

Steps to get an OAuth token

1. Supply your CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET and REDIRECT_URI from your OAuth app's credentials to the .env. See .env.example as reference.

2. Input a port for the server to listen to in .env's SERVER_PORT field.

3. Run $ yarn start and go to http://localhost:{SERVER_PORT} in your browser.

4. Click on the link and authorize your account.

5. Take note of the generated OAuth token which will be needed on the main integration.
