Most elegant solution I could find is making first 2 routes conditional and set access token variable (either with value of newly generated one or with value of valid one from data store), then unconditionally run 3rd route afterwards and read access token variable
alternatively, route 2 could be removed and in api request module [1] an if statement in token value field could check if “get variable” [25] resulted in emptystring or not and then choosing retrieved [10] or generated [24] token accordingly
essentially, my question was similar to
