If you need to configure OAuth2 from scratch, [register a new Pagerduty app](https://developer.pagerduty.com/docs/dd91fbd09a1a1-register-an-app).

Use these settings for registering your app:

* In the **Category** dropdown list, select **Infrastructure Automation**.
* In the **Functionality** section, select **OAuth 2.0**.

Once you **Save** your app, open the app details and [edit your app configuration](https://developer.pagerduty.com/docs/dd91fbd09a1a1-register-an-app#editing-your-app-configuration) to use these settings:

* Within the **OAuth 2.0** section, select **Add**.
* Copy the **OAuth Callback URL** from n8n and paste it into the **Redirect URL** field.
* Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from PagerDuty and add these to your n8n credentials.
* Select **Read/Write** from the **Set Permission Scopes** dropdown list.
