Session Auth: How response from main auth url can be used to call access_token in Test url call?

Question

Hi, I am creating a custom zapier integration. Authentication is Oauth 2.0 but grant_type = client_credentials.

Article attached suggested I should use Session Auth in my case which is what I am doing.

ISSUE: My main Auth url is working fine. It returns a status code 200. I want to use the response returned, specifically access_token field from auth url response in the HTTP header of my Test API call. How can I use response from Auth url in Test API url?

HTTP Header should be like this: Authorization: Bearer your-access_token-goes-here
What I did: Authorization: Bearer {{bundle.authData.sessionkey}}

After doing some experiments I was able to figure it out on my own.

Here’s what I did:

I created a computed field and gave it a key access_token (naming convention same as required by the API).
Fetch the access_token (results.access_token) and stored it in a field access_token in Auth url section
used {{bundle.authData.access_token}} to use the access_token in the HTTP Header of Test API call.
