The Refresh Token is a long lived token which can be exchanged for short lived Access Tokens which in turn are used by the connector to fetch the data.
The generation of a Refresh Token is a multi-step process described in the official documentation.
One can use the Self Client from the Zoho Console which is easiest and facilitates the creation of an authentication code. After that one should proceed to Step 2: Generating Grant Token described in the official documentation. It is possible to use multiple tools (e.g. Postman, curl, Firefox Developer Mode) in order to retrieve the refresh token after the last redirect. The refresh token never expires. A new token should be created for this connector in order to be able to revoke access on a per-app basis.
