Back to Docusign.com
I have a Node.js application where I create a DocuSign envelope. Currently, I use the Authorization Code Grant flow to manually obtain the access token and refresh token. However, the refresh token expires every 30 days if not used. Is there an alternative method that would allow me to avoid manually generating a new access token and logging in each time the refresh token expires?

Instead of using the Authorization Code Grant flow, which requires user interaction and has refresh tokens that expire after 30 days of inactivity, you can use the JWT (JSON Web Token) Grant authentication flow.
Since JWT tokens are short-lived, your application should automatically request a new one when needed
