Seamless Pipedrive Token Refresh for Uninterrupted Integrations
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the refreshing of your Pipedrive access tokens to ensure your integrations remain active and data flows uninterrupted. This workflow ensures your application always has valid credentials for Pipedrive API access.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to proactively manage your Pipedrive API access tokens. It addresses the common challenge of expiring tokens by implementing a robust refresh mechanism. The process begins with storing initial access and refresh tokens securely in a database. When an API call to Pipedrive fails due to an invalid token, the workflow intelligently detects this error. It then initiates a token refresh process using the stored refresh token, obtaining new access and refresh tokens. These updated tokens are subsequently saved back to the database and used to re-execute the original failed API call, ensuring continued seamless operation of your Pipedrive integrations without manual intervention.
Key Features
- Automated Access Token Refresh: Prevents integration downtime due to expired Pipedrive tokens.
- Secure Token Storage: Manages refresh and access tokens securely in a database.
- Error Detection & Handling: Intelligently identifies invalid token errors.
- Efficient Re-execution: Retries API calls with newly refreshed tokens.
- Customizable Pipedrive API Integration: Easily adapts to various Pipedrive API endpoints.
How To Use
- Initial Setup (Step 1): When a user authenticates with Pipedrive and installs your application, save the initial
access_tokenandrefresh_tokento your database (e.g., Supabase table 'App_tok' with 'Platform' set to 'Pipedrive'). - API Interaction (Step 3): Configure your workflow to make Pipedrive API calls. This node (
Get contact from Pipedrive) demonstrates searching for a person. Ensure your API call includes theAuthorizationheader using theaccess_tokenretrieved from your database. - Token Validation (Step 4): Use an 'If' node (
Access Token Invalid) to check the response from your Pipedrive API call. Configure it to trigger if the error message indicates an invalid access token. - Token Refresh (Step 5): If the token is invalid, trigger a webhook or API call to a separate workflow designed to refresh tokens (
Refresh Access Token). This endpoint should accept yourappIdand use yourrefresh_tokento obtain newaccess_tokenandrefresh_token. - Update Tokens (Step 2): Once new tokens are received from the refresh process, use a database node (
Insertto Supabase table 'App_tok') to update your storedref_tokenandacc_tokenwith the new values. - Retry API Call (Implied): After successfully refreshing and updating the tokens, the workflow should be designed to re-attempt the original API call that failed. This typically involves re-routing the execution flow back to the API request node or having a separate node to retry the operation.
- Handle Success/Failure: Use a 'Respond to Webhook' node for successful API calls or a 'Stop and Error' node for persistent failures.
