Refresh token
A long-lived credential used to obtain new access tokens when they expire. Unlike access tokens (which expire in hours), refresh tokens can last weeks or months. PURIST builds token refresh logic into every OAuth integration.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Refresh token 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.
