Question

Can plugin execution automatically resume after re-authorization (without asking user to retry)?

Scenario



We’re seeing a small but recurring UX gap in our Moveworks → UKG plugin flow and wanted to check if others have solved this or if there’s a recommended pattern.

Current behavior

  1. User asks Moveworks to perform an action (example: approve timecard).

  2. Plugin detects expired/invalid OAuth token for UKG.

  3. Moveworks prompts the user to re-authorize via an auth link.

  4. After successful authorization, the user must explicitly type something like “retry approve timecard” to continue.

  5. Only then does the plugin re-execute the original action.

From the user’s point of view, it feels broken or incomplete — they believe the task should continue automatically once access is granted.

Expected / desired behavior

Once the user completes authorization successfully:

  • Moveworks should automatically resume the original plugin execution

  • The user should not be required to type a manual “retry” command

  • The experience should feel like a single continuous flow, not two separate conversations

Questions for the community / Moveworks team

  • Is there a supported way to persist the original intent and automatically re-trigger the plugin after OAuth completes?

  • Are there best practices for handling token refresh / re-auth flows without requiring explicit user retries?

  • Is this a current platform limitation, or something that can be configured at the plugin or workflow level?

Would love to hear if anyone has implemented a smoother post-authorization continuation pattern or if this is already on the roadmap.

Thanks!

Hey ​@RakeshTWC Thanks for the feedback. To address your questions

  1. Not currently, I believe that is coming
  2. Are you looking for an automated way to refresh the token?
  3. If you are talking about the retry experience, then it is and same answer as point 1

I agree that the current experience isn’t desirable. I can assure that we are working through a lot of plugin quality improvements that will help make this experience smoother.
