OAuth (Open Authorisation)
An authentication standard that lets users grant third-party apps access to their accounts without sharing passwords. Most modern SaaS tools use OAuth for API access. OAuth tokens expire and require refresh logic in long-running automations.
Expert insight
OAuth tokens that expire mid-workflow silently break it. Always build token refresh logic into long-running automations.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, OAuth (Open Authorisation) is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Security category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
Complexity level
Requires some familiarity with automation concepts.
