I am making an automated recurring flow to trigger Paylocity Get Employee Punch Details API for all employees. For this flow to work and run 3 times a day without any errors, I should have the access token which refreshes. Please tell me the steps to get the access token and refresh tokens so that the flow will run without errors.
Here's a breakdown of how you can handle the Paylocity API token refresh for your recurring Power Automate flow: ·Register Application: Obtain Client ID and Client Secret from Paylocity. ·Obtain Access Token:
Make a request to the Paylocity OAuth token endpoint with your Client ID and Client Secret.
Include the necessary parameters to receive an access token.
·Store Access Token: Securely store the access token. ·Set Up Token Refresh:
Include an action in the flow to call the token API with credentials to obtain a new access token.
Capture the response to extract the new access token.
Place this action above the main API call to ensure the main API call always uses a refreshed token because access tokens typically have a limited lifespan.
·Make API Calls:
Use the valid access token retrieved from the token API in the main API call.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
