Request MS365 refresh token (update token)

To log in to Microsoft Exchange, you need what is known as an access token. This is generated automatically when you log in to Microsoft Exchange. Access Tokens are only valid for approx. 1 hour for security reasons. A new Access Token is then generated automatically. This is done with the help of the so-called refresh token. You must request this manually in the Connector for Microsoft Exchange on the "Exchange account" tab. You must do this for the user that you use when creating the data source ().

You must also do this for the additional users that you use in applications and processes ().

The refresh token is stored in the MediaGateway. It is valid for 3 months. It must then be requested again manually.
