Seamlessly Refresh Pipedrive API Tokens with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the process of refreshing your Pipedrive API access tokens with this n8n workflow. Ensure uninterrupted data synchronization by proactively managing token expiration.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to automatically refresh your Pipedrive API access tokens when they expire. It begins by storing your initial access and refresh tokens in a database. The workflow then periodically checks for token validity and, upon detecting an invalid token, initiates a refresh process. It retrieves the necessary credentials, exchanges the refresh token for a new access token, and updates your database with the latest tokens. This ensures that your integrations with Pipedrive remain active and data flows smoothly without manual intervention. The 'Stop and Error' node provides a clear failure point if the token refresh process encounters any issues.
Key Features
- Automated Token Refresh: Eliminates manual intervention for Pipedrive API token management.
- Secure Token Storage: Utilizes Supabase to securely store and retrieve access and refresh tokens.
- Error Handling: Includes a 'Stop and Error' node for clear notification of refresh failures.
- Flexible Integration: Designed to be easily integrated into existing n8n workflows for Pipedrive data synchronization.
How To Use
- Initial Authentication & Storage: Set up an initial authentication flow (as described in Sticky Note 3) to obtain and store your Pipedrive access and refresh tokens in your Supabase database table 'App_tok'. Ensure the
ref_token,acc_token,Platform(set to 'Pipedrive'),created_at, andupdated_atfields are populated. - Token Retrieval: Configure the 'Get Pipedrive Token' node to query your Supabase 'App_tok' table, filtering by
Platform='Pipedrive' and your specificAppId. - API Request: In the 'Get contact from Pipedrive' node, set up your Pipedrive API call. Use the retrieved
acc_tokenfrom the 'Get Pipedrive Token' node in the 'Authorization' header. - Token Expiration Check: The 'Access Token Invalid' node acts as an 'IF' condition. It checks if the API response from Pipedrive indicates an invalid access token.
- Token Refresh Trigger: If the access token is invalid (the 'Access Token Invalid' node evaluates to true), the workflow proceeds to the 'Refresh Access Token' node. This node should be configured to call an endpoint that handles the token refresh using your stored refresh token.
- Update Tokens: After a successful refresh, the 'Insert' node is used to update your Supabase 'App_tok' table with the new
acc_tokenandref_token. - Error Handling: The 'Stop and Error' node is connected to the token refresh process to halt execution and provide an error message if the refresh fails.
