    Accounts in this organizational directory only 

  • Redirect URI Configuration:
    • Platform: Web
  • Redirect URI:

    https://auth.counta.com/callback/oidc/{alias}

Replace {alias} with your agency's Counta tenant alias.

Step 3: Create a Client Secret

Step 4: Collect Required Information

Provide the following information to the Counta Support team:

• • Application (Client) ID
  • Directory (Tenant) ID
