Welcome to the Lucid Developer Community!

Hi! My name is Ian Baenziger and I’m Lucid’s lead Product Manager for our APIs. Pleasure to e-meet you! 👋We are VERY excited to launch the Developer section of our Community. In this section the developers actually building Lucid’s APIs will be available to answer your most technical questions. Furthermore here we plan to announce new endpoints tools and guides to help developers have the best possible experience developing on Lucid’s APIs. We’ll also post helpful tips for using our APIsSo feel free to let us know what’s on your mind! Do you have a question about how to use our APIs? Is something not working the way you expected? Are there additional ways we can help you have a positive experience? We’re all ears. 😀 To post a question of your own use the Create a topic form linked here or at the top of any Community page and choose “Lucid for Developers” as the topic to add it to this section.Thank you and we’re excited to hear from you!

Access the API programmatically

Hello I'm looking at this page and just wanting to confirm my understanding of the following paragraph: "Authorization must happen in the browser because a user must give consent for the client to access their information. For this reason the authorization request cannot be made from Postman curl or some other HTTP client." Is there really no way to access the API programmatically? Thank you!

Generating long lasting OAUTH tokens in Lucid

Hello World! My name is Michael Bowers and I am the team lead for Lucid’s External Api team. I am extremely excited to begin building our community and work directly with you to enable Lucid to help take your vision to the next level. To do that I would like to start with our most asked question: Developers exploring our APIs often say to us “An OAuth token is required to use your endpoints and a user needs to manually authorize the creation of this token via a browser. These tokens expire every hour… is there a way to build a long-living application on your API that doesn’t require a user/manual intervention every hour?”. Good news. There is a way! With our APIs you can build an application that requires user intervention just once and can then run forever without any further user action by generating refresh tokens. This can be done by requesting the offline_access scope when obtaining the initial OAuth token. Including this scope will cause a refresh token to be provided in the Crea

Difference between a Hotspot, Action, and Link Preview 💥

Adding interactivity to your diagrams is a great way to engage your viewers, add depth and context to your documentation, and supplement your visuals with actionable next steps. Lucidchart makes this easy with several different tools—want to know which option is best for you? Read on to learn the differences between Hotspots, Actions, and Link Previews how they behave and how to use them effectively.  ActionsWith Actions, you can link to an external website or email, a page within the current Lucidchart document, or a different Lucidchart document. You can also use Actions to toggle layers and add conditional formatting rules. For a complete description of each of these options, please refer to the Add an Action or link to a shape in Lucidchart article from the Lucidchart Help Center.Actions can be applied to most objects and text in two ways. The first is via the Actions menu in the toolbar at the top of the editor.The second is from within the right-click menu by selecting “Add Actio

Build a Business Process Flowchart in Lucidchart 👷‍♀️

Do you want to visually portray steps and documents in a process? Does your process involve multiple actors or categories? If so build a flowchart! Follow this walkthrough of the Business process flow example to understand how to work with flowcharts in Lucidchart. You can also customize this template to suit your own teams and processes!This template includes both advanced and basic flowchart shapes. Swim lanes are the advanced shapes that contain the entire process and organize steps into four categories: responsibilities of the customer sales team management and credit department. Within swim lanes basic flowchart shapes depict stages and documents required to make a sale. For example the flowchart begins with an oval terminator shape representing a sales call. Afterwards the sales team enters the order and the customer buys the product. These steps are both depicted with rectangular process shapes because they’re clear actions. In this example the swim lane shape is useful because

Is LucidChart Scriptable?

I'd like to create a button on the master page that would take the viewer to the "last page viewed". This is an important element in building a dynamic multi-page document that can be navigated effortlessly. The "Page" action is useful to a point but it does not offer the ability to "remember" where the user "came from". Often a "destination" page may be viewed from several different starting points. It makes sense that the "starting point" could be captured as a variable and used in an action to "return to the previous page". If this is not already built into LucidChart can LucidChart be scripted using Javascript?

Using layers and actions to create a button in your Lucidchart diagram

Visualization is often most effective when it is simple and clean but sometimes elements of your diagrams might need a bit of extra detail or context. By creating a button in your diagram you and other viewers can easily click it to reveal that additional information then quickly hide it again to keep the diagram clear and easy to understand. For example I’ve used Lucidchart to create an office floor plan in which there is additional employee information corresponding to each seat assignment. This diagram can then serve as a resource for others in the office to understand more information about your workplace and the people who work there. Below I’ve created a seating area of an office floor plan including desks chairs and computer setups. Now I want to turn each chair object into a button which upon clicking will reveal additional information about the employee who sits there. After creating the floor plan the next step is to create the corresponding Layers for each chair object.

Dynamic attributes within an object

Is there a way to show a dynamic list of attributes within an object? For example consider the following objects described by 2 different models belonging to 2 different teams:   "Box" "Box"ID (id) ID (id)Label (string) Recipient (string)Contents (list:Contents) Address 1 (string) Address 2 (string) City (string) State (string) ZIP (int)   Is there a way to put each "Box" object on a separate layer but have the "Box" object look as follows when both layers are selected?   "Box"ID (id)Label (string)Contents (list:Contents)Recipient (string)Address 1 (string)Address 2 (string)City (string)State (string)ZIP (int)   I'm looking for a solution where each of my 2 teams only have to edit their own version (layer?) of the object and have the combined list
