I am trying to create a sample request in Postman for the https://oauth2.sky.blackbaud.com/token API. I have created a simple POST request with the following:

In Params (Query Params): i have created grant_type, client_id, client_secret, redirect_uri params and entered values accoridingly.

In Headers: i have created Authorization, content-type and entered values accordingly.

I followed the instructions mentioned in https://community.blackbaud.com/blogs/69/4042 under “Postman” header. I am getting the following error when i click on the “Get New Access Token” button in Postman.

This application has not been connected to your Blackbaud environment.Please contact your organization's administrator.

I am connected to the application. Attached is the screenshot.

Hi @Shahul Hameed. In your screenshot, I see that you have Connected the SKY API Console application. This is the application used by the ‘Try it' feature of our API Endpoint Reference pages. I see you also have an application on your account ("RNL Engage"). If you wish to use Postman with your application's credentials, your application must be Connected to the environment as well. You can find the instruction to do so here: https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/docs/applications/createapp#connect-your-app
