Can Connect REST re-request automatically when token expired?
【program】
activity:
1.set required info
2.Connect-REST:
・Use authentication profile with OAuth2.0
・Use refresh token if available (checkbox :true)（the target service provided refresh token）
【phenomenon】
・the first request: got 401 Unauthorized caused by token expired , message as follows:
Access token endpoint invocation failed : {ErrorMessage=Response status : 401 Unauthorized, statuscode=401, refresh_token=0666010fXXXXXXXXX}
・the second request by executing the activity again: the request worked ok and got status 200.
【question】
What configuration can make Connect REST re-request automatically (in Connect REST rule) when token expired without the second request ?（In addition to calling connect-rest multiple times in the activity）
Thanks a lot.

@Kite_Wu To automatically handle token expiration in a Connect-REST rule, you can create a custom Data Page that retrieves and manages the access token. This Data Page should check the token's expiration and refresh it if necessary before using it in the Connect-REST rule. In the Connect-REST rule, instead of using an authentication profile, you can reference the Data Page to set the access token in the request header. This way, the Data Page will ensure that a valid token is always used, and you won't need to call the Connect-REST multiple times in the activity.#
