Before you start
You need:- An existing Elevate business account and an Elevate login for each advisor who will connect.
- An Elevate account owner or technical administrator with permission to manage Elevate API access.
- A Slant user with permission to manage integrations for the company setup step.
- Slant’s redirect URL:
https://slant.app/settings/oauth. Register this URL in Elevate; Slant supplies it automatically when each advisor connects.
Create your company’s credentials in Elevate
Use your company’s Elevate account for both registrations below. You are registering Slant’s access, not building an application yourself. Follow Elevate’s API access instructions alongside these steps.1
Open Elevate API access
Sign in to your company’s Elevate Control Panel using the address supplied by your provider. Go to Elevate → Apps & Integrations → Elevate API access.
2
Create a service account
Under Service Accounts, click Add Account. Enter a descriptive name, such as Slant history sync, then click Next.Save the generated Client ID and Secret Key securely. These become Service client ID and Service client secret in Slant. Elevate shows the service account’s secret only when it is created.
3
Register a confidential OAuth client
Under OAuth Client IDs, click Add Client ID. Enter a name, such as Slant, and enter
https://slant.app/settings/oauth as the Redirect URI.Choose Confidential as the client type, then click Next. Save this client’s ID and secret separately from the service account credentials. These become Confidential OAuth client ID and OAuth client secret in Slant.Service credentials grant broad access to your company’s Elevate data. Enter secrets directly into Slant; do not include them in support tickets or email. Create dedicated credentials for Slant without deleting or resetting existing Elevate Archiving credentials.
Enter the credentials in Slant
Go to Settings → Phone and SMS. Under Elevate, click Set up company account and complete these fields:
Click Verify account. Successful verification closes the form and shows Company access connected on the Elevate card.
This verifies company service access. Each advisor must still complete OAuth authorization. Company setup alone does not connect employees or import their history.
You do not supply a webhook URL or webhook secret in this form. Slant manages webhook registration and authentication. Your personal Elevate password is entered only on Elevate’s sign-in page.
Connect each advisor to a book
1
Choose your destination book
Select the Slant book where you want your Elevate history to appear, then go to Settings → Phone and SMS.
2
Authorize your Elevate account
Under the company account, click Connect my Elevate account. Sign in with your own Elevate user from that company and authorize Slant.After Elevate returns you to Slant, your connection shows User authorized and the history sync status.
3
Choose your calling settings
Open Calling settings, choose your Calling device and Outbound caller ID, then click Save.Caller ID applies across your Slant books and Elevate apps. Only the connected owner can change these settings or place calls using this identity.
Elevate SMS history is read-only in Slant. Send texts from Elevate; Slant does not offer Elevate SMS composing, sender defaults, outbound SMS automations, or sequence sending. Image MMS appears only when Slant can retrieve the attachment.
Troubleshoot setup
Why can't I see Elevate API access?
Why can't I see Elevate API access?
Ask your Elevate account owner or technical administrator to complete the registration. Elevate limits this page to administrators with the required product permissions. Your Elevate provider can help if API access is unavailable.
Why does company verification fail?
Why does company verification fail?
Check that the service client ID and secret belong to the same service account. Do not use the OAuth client’s credentials in the service fields. Confirm the credentials have not been reset or removed in Elevate.
How do I update a secret?
How do I update a secret?
A Slant integration manager can select Update credentials on the company account. Enter the replacement secret and click Verify account; leave unchanged credential fields blank to keep their saved values. If you replace a client registration after users have connected, create a separate company configuration in Slant.
Does every advisor need API credentials?
Does every advisor need API credentials?
No. Your company integration manager supplies the two credential pairs once. Advisors use Connect my Elevate account and sign in through OAuth.
What happens when I disconnect a book?
What happens when I disconnect a book?
Imported history remains visible, and connections to other books continue working. The disconnected book stops syncing new activity. See Phone and SMS for connection and history controls.
