Salesforce Authentication Extractor

Extracts Access Token and Instance URL from a Salesforce Connection. Optionally, the access token can be refreshed on execution so that downstream nodes will find a valid token upon execution. This node is usually upstream of a REST node (e.g. GET Request ), whereby these nodes will use the instance url and the access token in their configuration.

In order to configure the a GET Request (or similar), further manipulate the instance URL by appending the correct endpoint location (e.g. using String Manipulation (Variable) ) and, in the configuration of the GET Request node, add a Request Header called "Authorization" driven by the flow variable produced by this node.
