JWT
JWT (JSON Web Token) is a standard for transferring signed information between two parties in JSON format. A common use is as an access token for authentication: after the server verifies the client, it issues a token, and the client presents it without sending a password again.

In business automation
JWT is a token format with fields and claims that can be verified. It may be used for authentication and integrations, but the signature, expiration, issuer, and audience should be checked before trusting its contents.
Examples
These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.
Business process example
A service receives a request to update a record with a token. It verifies that the token is intended for that service and has not expired, then checks whether the user is authorized to change that specific record.
Relevant tools
- Supabase
- Tokens are used to connect to authentication and data services; record permissions must be enforced separately.
What to check
- Decoding the token text is not verification. Do not store a secret in it on the assumption that its contents cannot be read.
