clientToken
The clientToken
parameter is an idempotency token. It ensures that your CreateFlow
request completes only once. You choose the value to pass. For example, if you don't receive a response from your request, you can safely retry the request with the same clientToken
parameter value.
If you omit a clientToken
value, the Amazon Web Services SDK that you are using inserts a value for you. This way, the SDK can safely retry requests multiple times after a network error. You must provide your own value for other use cases.
If you specify input parameters that differ from your first request, an error occurs. If you use a different value for clientToken
, Amazon AppFlow considers it a new call to CreateFlow
. The token is active for 8 hours.
