Is there a way to trigger authentication flow with API?

I am successfully able to utilize https://www.make.com/en/api-documentation/connections-post to create a connection through API.

However, I would also like to trigger an authentication flow through the API. Is that possible?

@vendy @Michaela can anyone please answer this question.

Welcome to the Make community!

What do you mean by authentication flow? Did you mean OAuth 2.0 connection?

Yes, for example when a scenario is created. I would utilize the connection created through the API in a node.

However, we still need to authenticate the connection which typically triggers authorization flow (OAuth2).

There is no clarity in the API documentation how this would work.

According to the Make API documentation,

You’ll need to create connection first passing clientId and clientSecret to set the scopes, then followed by Set connection data to pass the accessToken and refreshToken.
