Hello devs! I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to extract a JWT token from the response of an HTTP request — specifically from a “Test Connection” type request (or should I be using a different type instead?). I’d then like to use that token in a subsequent request using curl. Is there a standard or recommended approach for handling this kind of flow?
@stefanoperetti - Could you please elaborate on this point and the context? Are you trying to achieve this using an HTTP Action request within a workflow
I wasn’t using a workflow, I was trying to get the JWT in a variable with curl. If that doesn’t work, should I use a workflow or rules for getting the JWT and using it in another HTTP requests?
You have to implement custom authentication :

Hi @sidharth_tarlapally . I have three endpoints, and the connection test works fine(first one). However, when I try to use JWT in the Users endpoint, I get a 401 error saying no token was provided.
I’m saving the JWT from the second endpoint like this:
Then, I’m using it in the third endpoint like this.
But still unauthorized saying that JWT is not well formed
Hi @stefanoperetti ,
Can you remove the Bearer from value and try. Header
Hi @Kiran001 . I already tryed it out, but nothing happened
Hello,
For getting the Authorization Token using WebService Connector, you have to do the below.
-
Create an HTTP Operation Named as “Custom Authentication”.
-
Use this method in “Connector Settings” page as well so that whenever that source is called, it will always generate a new token.
-
In the custom authentication method, provide the details as below.
Provide the required parameters to generate the token in body as shown below
Note that before doing these configurations on ISC, try them out first in POSTMAN and see whether you are able to fetch the Bearer Token or not. If yes, then, how you are getting Bearer Token Response in Response Body and accordingly make the changes in your Custom Authentication HTTP Method.

Hello @rohit_wekhande Thank you for your response! It not unauthorized anymore, but I didn´t get the step of the second image. The one that you say that “Content-type” got a value as “.application/x-www-form-urlencoded” I´m not sure what to replace there.
Hello,
If you are talking about this step.
Then, these are nothing by Header Details which are required for your API which is Generating Authz Token. Now, in my case, as I need to provide data in JSON Body as “x-www-form-urlendcoded”, hence, in the header section, I need to explicitly mention what is the JSON Body type supported by the API. Refer the below Screenshot from POSTMAN for your reference.
So the header section will depend upon how you are passing the JSON Body in the API request to get the Bearer Token.
