Note on third‑party tools

              

We aim to provide accurate and helpful details about third‑party tools, but we can’t guarantee that this information is always complete or up to date.

[First Resonance ION](https://www.firstresonance.io) is a factory operating system (also known as a manufacturing execution system or MES) designed for discrete manufacturers in aerospace, robotics, and other hardware industries. This component allows you to manage purchase orders and manufacturing data within the ION platform.

## API Documentation

This component was built using the [ION GraphQL API](https://manual.firstresonance.io).

## Connections

### OAuth Client Credentials

Get an access token for the ION API

To connect to First Resonance ION using OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials, an API key consisting of a Client ID and Client Secret is required.

For detailed information about ION API authentication, refer to the [First Resonance ION API Access Tokens documentation](https://manual.firstresonance.io/api/access-tokens).

#### Prerequisites

- An active First Resonance ION account
- Permissions to create API keys in the ION platform
- Knowledge of which environment to connect to (Production, Sandbox, Gov Cloud, or Australia)

#### Setup Steps

To generate OAuth Client Credentials:

1. Log in to the First Resonance ION platform.
2. Navigate to **Settings** > **API Keys**.
3. Create a new API key following the [ION API documentation](https://manual.firstresonance.io/api/api-keys).
4. Copy both the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** values that are generated.

              Environment Selection

              

First Resonance ION supports multiple deployment environments. Select the appropriate **Auth Endpoint** based on the target environment:

- **Production** - Standard production environment (`auth.buildwithion.com`)
- **Sandbox** - Staging/testing environment (`staging-auth.buildwithion.com`)
- **Production (Gov Cloud)** - Government cloud production (`auth.ion-gov.com`)
- **Sandbox (Gov Cloud)** - Government cloud staging (`staging-auth.ion-gov.com`)
- **Australia** - Australia region production (`auth.ion-aus.com`)
- **Australia (Staging)** - Australia region staging (`staging-auth.ion-aus.com`)

#### Configure the Connection

1. Select the appropriate **Auth Endpoint** from the dropdown based on the target environment.
2. Enter the **Client ID** from the generated API key.
3. Enter the **Client Secret** from the generated API key.

The **Token URL** is automatically constructed based on the selected **Auth Endpoint**.

This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations. Read about how OAuth 2.0 works [here](/docs/oauth-20-connections).

| Input | Comments | Default |
