Dear GroupMe Developer Support Team,

I hope you’re doing well.

I’m currently working on integrating GroupMe’s login and data synchronization features into my application. The goal is to allow users to log in with their GroupMe accounts and then sync their events and messages directly with their Google or Microsoft calendars.

While testing the developer account login flow, I noticed that after signing in, the process requires entering a PIN before I can access the developer account and obtain the access token. Once the PIN is submitted, I’m able to generate the access token successfully — however, this multi-step process feels quite complex, especially for end-users.

Could you please clarify if there’s a more streamlined or automated way to obtain the access token programmatically through the API? Ideally, I’m looking for an OAuth 2.0–based flow or a similar method that allows users to authorize the app and retrieve the access token directly, without manual PIN entry.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I appreciate any guidance or documentation you can share to simplify the authentication process.
