Our integration with Mimecast utilizes their V2 API, which introduces significant updates, particularly in the authentication mechanism.

Creating a Mimecast connection

Using Access Token

To create the connection you need:

  • A Client ID
  • A Client Secret

Client ID and Secret are returned when the Mimecast registration process is complete.

  3. (Optional) Edit the name of the connection. At a later stage you cannot edit the name.

  4. Select Access Token as the method to create the connection.

  5. Fill in the parameters:

    • The Client ID
