Can I get FreshBooks access token to use in custom GET/POST request?

Hello, Zapier experts!

I am creating a zap that uses the FreshBooks integration.

I need to duplicate an Estimate, but there is no such functionality provided out of the box by Zapier.

I would like to invoke FreshBooks API directly using custom step - either run Java Script or Webhooks.

Is it possible to use the access token, that Zapier already has, in the custom step?

Thanks!

Hi @pniv

Q: Is it possible to use the access token, that Zapier already has, in the custom step?

A: No, you’ll need to get and add an access token to your API request.

Thank you, @Troy Tessalone !

I am reading the FreshBooks documentation on how to get that token:

If I understand correctly, I need to generate Refresh Token (that lives forever) and use that in my zap. Is this correct?

App APIs can have different authentication requirements, so best to default to the app’s provided API documentation related to authentication.
