Easy mode for obtain accessToken

[Elia_Germanetto]

Hi, how can I obtain an access token to make API calls to the Admin API and create an app?

In the past, I used the legacy method: I created a custom app directly in the shop, set the required scopes, and retrieved the access token from the shop’s admin panel.

Could you please guide me through the correct process?

Hi, thanks for the reply. The problem is that I need this token to integrate with the tool I use to send emails, which I need to integrate with Shopify to get registered users to the site. The problem is that I’m not given the option to automatically refresh the token; I would have to obtain it manually and change it.
