Multi-Tenancy (Dynamic Authentication)

This node supports Multi-Tenancy by allowing you to inject Access Tokens dynamically instead of using saved credentials. This is ideal for managing multiple customers in a single workflow.

1. Set Authentication Mode to Dynamic Access Token (Multi-Tenant).
2. Map your Access Token from an upstream node (e.g., from a database or HTTP Request).
3. Select the Server Environment (Production or Sandbox).

Note: In Dynamic Mode, the node cannot refresh tokens. Your workflow must handle token refresh logic (e.g., using an HTTP Request node to /restapi/oauth/token) before passing the valid access token to this node.
