That gets even harder when I\u2019m not in the office with them, and honestly, it shouldn\u2019t be necessary for this process to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d love to be able to send the client a link they can click to approve the OAuth request, then have it redirect them to a simple approval page that doesn\u2019t require access to the website backend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That would make it much easier for webmasters to keep clients out of the backend while still letting them authorize the app to send emails properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19001857","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19001857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19001857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19001857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
