Print Creator

How to transition to authentication using only API tokens.

This setting applies to users who created their Print Creator account before June 23, 2021.

We have introduced an additional method for integrating Print Creator with Kintone apps. In addition to registering your Kintone login name and password, you can now also integrate with an API token.

Since you do not need your login details when using API token authentication, this is a more secure method for accessing Print Creator.

This help page will guide you through the process of configuring API token authentication for all apps and app relation in order to transition to using only API token authentication.

*The migration process does not affect PDF printouts. Print Creator will continue to function as normal.

*If you have complete this migration process, you will not be able to revert to authentication with your Kintone login user information.

*Note that users cannot apply JavaScript via API tokens. If you need to change the JavaScript, you will need to download and replace the JavaScript file. For more information on applying JavaScript, please refer to “Customizing an App with JavaScript and CSS”.
