OAuth Token Automation
When to use: Workflows using OAuth (YouTube, Google, Facebook, etc.) that need automatic token refresh without manual intervention.
Problem Statement
OAuth tokens expire (typically 1 hour), breaking workflows that run on schedules. Manual token refresh via n8n UI is not sustainable for production workflows.
