Getting OAuth2 token - limitation: can only send application/json Content-Type

    I need to get a token to a 3rd party client. But the client has a limitation that it can only send content-type application/json. The oauth2 request requires application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Is there any way to make this work without introducing a middleware component?

    Take a look at this documentation:

    https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/how-to-use-the-user-defined-oauth-credential-type/

    In the example the content type is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded

    That I understand. My question is if there is any other way around it if the client can only send content-type application/json without introducing a middleware component that will handle the authorization.

    I apologize, I don't seem to be understanding what you are asking for.

    Could you either whip up a quick diagram of what you are trying to accomplish, or give an example of the data action configuration you need that you won't currently work?
