Pick right authentication type (Auth Code/ Implicit/JWT)


Forum|alt.badge.img+3

I'm constructing a low/no-code application on the Microsoft Power Platform that integrates with DocuSign. However, I'm a bit uncertain about selecting the appropriate authentication type for the application setup. Essentially, our frontend operates on PowerApps, and Power Automate serves as the integration layer to communicate with the DocuSign API.

Given this setup, which authentication type would be the most suitable choice for DocuSign?

From my experience you want to either set up JWT as this is a system integration or Auth Code Grant, if these are internal users with access to their DocuSign eSignature account and it should run in a user context and with their credentials.

There are more things to consider, see the articles on How to Choose OAuth type and this visual decision tree.

Thanks Mike for the response, looks like as you suggested I’ll go for JWT as we are not looking for interactive login.
