Integrations · Autodesk APS

Bring your own Autodesk APS app

Create an APS application in your own Autodesk account and install it in your ACC Hub as a Custom Integration. No App Store approval required — the app lives in your Autodesk account and only your Hub can use it.

Why this route exists

Autodesk’s App Store requires a formal review process. This route skips it: you create the APS app yourself, your ACC Hub Admin installs it as a Custom Integration, and you hand Alloovium the credentials. Nothing is shared with other Alloovium customers.

Custom Integrations are an official Autodesk feature for exactly this use case — connecting approved third-party tools to a specific Hub without a public listing.

Requirements

  • An Autodesk account with access to APS (developer.autodesk.com). Free account works.
  • ACC Hub Admin access (to install the Custom Integration in your Hub).
  • About 10–15 minutes.

BIM 360 vs ACC

Custom Integrations are an ACC feature. If your organisation is still on legacy BIM 360, upgrade to ACC first or use the standard APS OAuth flow via Alloovium support.

1. Create an APS application

  1. 1

    Sign in to the APS Developer Portal

    Go to developer.autodesk.com/myapps and sign in with your Autodesk account.

  2. 2

    Create a new application

    Click "Create application". Give it a name like "Alloovium — Internal". Select BIM 360 and/or Autodesk Construction Cloud as the target APIs.

  3. 3

    Add the redirect URI

    In the app settings, add this redirect URI: https://app.alloovium.com/integrations/autodesk/callback. For staging, also add https://staging.alloovium.com/integrations/autodesk/callback.

  4. 4

    Copy Client ID and Client Secret

    After saving, copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the app detail page. You will need both in later steps.

2. Install as a Custom Integration in ACC

  1. 1

    Open ACC Account Admin

    In Autodesk Construction Cloud, go to your Hub’s Account Admin (top-right menu → Account Admin).

  2. 2

    Navigate to Custom Integrations

    In Account Admin, click "Custom Integrations" in the left sidebar (under the Integrations section).

  3. 3

    Add your APS Client ID

    Click "Add Custom Integration". Paste your APS Client ID and give the integration a name. Save.

  4. 4

    Confirm the integration is listed

    The integration will appear in the Custom Integrations list with a status of Active. Alloovium can now authenticate against your Hub using your credentials.

Hub Admin permission required

Only ACC Hub Admins can add Custom Integrations. If you are not a Hub Admin, ask your project owner or IT administrator to add the integration.

3. Connect in Alloovium

  1. 1

    Open Alloovium → Integrations → Autodesk

    Navigate to the Autodesk integration page.

  2. 2

    Enter your credentials

    Paste your APS Client ID and Client Secret into the credential fields.

  3. 3

    Authorise and select Hub

    Click Connect. You will be redirected to Autodesk to authorise access. After authorising, select the ACC Hub and projects you want to sync.

Troubleshooting

Custom Integrations tab not visible

This tab only appears for ACC Hub Admins. Have an admin log in and check Account Admin → Integrations.

Hub not appearing in Alloovium

Ensure the Custom Integration was added to the correct ACC Hub. Each Hub is a separate environment. If your org has multiple Hubs, repeat the Custom Integration step for each.

Redirect URI mismatch

Verify the redirect URI in your APS app exactly matches https://app.alloovium.com/integrations/autodesk/callback (no trailing slash, exact domain).
