Help Studio

Hi team,
I have a process that is going to interact with API - that needs to generate token before updating data in the API Endpoint. I have used the credentials to access token using postman and able to do that. As you can see in the screen below.

This image shows a Postman interface where an API request successfully generated an access token using client credentials for Microsoft Authentication. (Captioned by AI)

However, I used Parameters to configure the body.

The image shows a workflow configuration in UiPath Studio, focusing on an HTTP request with parameters and properties related to OAuth2 authentication. (Captioned by AI)

Unfortunately, I have not been able to generate token and pass on to the next workflow.
Can anyone advice what was missing from my steps?

Thanks a lot,
Sisay

@sonaliaggarwal47 - sorry for the confussion -
the API is not from UiPath.
It’s another site - which uses SSO via MS - as you can see in the endpoint in the above screenshot!
Thanks!

In the HTTP Request → Properties

Change these:

AcceptFormat from JSON to ANY
BodyFormat from application/json to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
