Send web request Automation using x-www-form-urlencoded

[ginxx009]

so in postman i have this POST REQUEST METHOD with the following urlencoded

POST -> URL: www.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/api/now/get_token_here

Body -> x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type = password

client_id = client_id

client_secret = client_secret

username = username

password = password

now on my headers

Now I am trying to use automation wherein I can get the {{weebhookResponse.body.access_token}}  then put it on another send web request automation like this

now it always gets me an error on the first send web request wherein I cannot get the token because it is giving me a 401 though it is working on the POSTMAN. Kindly help

Hi @ginxx009 , considering how long ago you posted this, you might have either fixed it, or given up :)
But I stumbled upon your question because I was struggling with it myself. 
It looks like you're initiating an OAuth flow to get a refresh token. 

I've managed to do this with Jira automation in this way: 

Create one action per parameter 'Create variable'. For example: 

• variableName = clientId
• Smart value = y0urSup3rS3cret1D

You do the same for clientSecret and password. 

After that you create the Send Webrequest action, with the header: 

Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded

And a Custom body like this where you put your parameters using your variables with the addition of the .urlEncode function for Smart Values. Your body would look somewhat like this: 

grant_type=password&client_id={{clientId.urlEncode}}&client_secret={{clientSecret.urlEncode}}&username=api_user_sn_chg_rest&password={{password.urlEncode}}

Happy Friday!
