🧩 Problem Description

You want to connect Autodesk to Matrak Connect, but Autodesk requires you to create (or configure) a custom integration so Matrak can request access using the correct Client ID.


🚶 Step-by-Step: Connect Autodesk to Matrak Connect

Part 1: Configure Autodesk (Account Admin)

  1. Log in to Autodesk: https://signin.autodesk.com/

  2. On the Home page, click Account Admin.

  3. Navigate to Custom Integrations.

  4. Click Add custom integration and enter the details provided by Matrak.

  • Custom Integration Name: Matrak Connect

  • Client ID: (provided by Matrak)

For security, do not share Client IDs or secrets in screenshots, emails, or public documentation. If you do not have the required values, contact your Matrak administrator or Matrak Support.

  2. Select Matrak Connect.

  3. Go to Browse.

  4. Choose Autodesk.

  5. Click Not Connected (or Not Setup).

  7. Follow the Autodesk prompts to authorize access.


✅ Confirm it is connected

In Matrak Connect, the Autodesk integration status should show as Connected. If it still shows Not Connected, review the troubleshooting section below.


💬 Q&A

Do I need to be an Autodesk admin?

  • You need access to Account Admin to configure the custom integration. If you do not have access, ask an Autodesk admin in your organization to complete Part 1.

Where do I get the Client ID and Client Secret?

  • These are provided by Matrak (or your Matrak administrator). If you do not have them, contact Matrak Support.


🛠️ Troubleshooting

  • I cannot see “Custom Integrations” in Autodesk.

    • Confirm you are in Account Admin and have the required admin permissions.

  • Matrak Connect says “Not Connected” after entering credentials.

    • Double-check there are no extra spaces when copying values.

    • Confirm the Client ID and secret match the Autodesk custom integration you created.

  • Authorization fails or loops back to sign-in.

    • Try signing out of Autodesk and signing back in.

    • Try a private/incognito browser window.
