Config for commcare

Jobs that use the commcare adaptor may require authentication. A "credential" for the commcare adaptor will follow the schema below. When using the CLI, you can set up your own state.configuration by using the sample below.

Sample Configuration​

Paste this into the configuration key of your state.json file and modify the values to run jobs locally.

{
  "hostUrl": "https://www.commcarehq.org",
  "applicationName": "some-proof-of-concept",
  "appId": "the-long-uuid-in-the-url-that-designates-a-unique-commcare-project",
  "username": "test@openfn.org",
  "password": "superscretepassword"
}
