Gmail and Salesforce Access Credentials¶

If your mailbox or Salesforce credentials get changed or expire, RGES will no longer be able to work with your data. However, you can easily renew your Salesforce and/or MS Exchange authorization to let RG Email Sidebar regain access to your mailbox and/or CRM data.

Microsoft Access Tokens Expiration Explained¶

Tip

See this Microsoft article for complete information on refresh tokens

When an access token expires, MS Office clients use a valid refresh token to obtain a new access token. This exchange succeeds if the user’s initial authentication is still valid.
By default, refresh tokens are valid for 90 days; however, with continuous use they can remain valid until revoked.

Refresh tokens can get auto-invalidated in the following cases:
User’s password has changed since the refresh token was issued.
If an administrator applies conditional access policies that restrict access to the resource the user is trying to access.
