1. From the homepage go to integrations.

2.  Select the affected integration.

3. After that click on Edit.

4. You are informed that you are no longer authenticated with the app or service via a message and a red warning indicator. To reauthenticate, select reauthenticate.

5. A new browser tab will open asking for the permissions. Grant all the required permissions and come back to the postman.

6. Click on Save Changes.

CI Integrations

The API development method involves Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) at its core.  Postman integrates with leading CI systems, In order to give information about API builds in the same location where you develop and test your API.

After configuring CI integration, you may check the status of existing builds or initiate a brand-new build directly from Postman. Using the Postman CLI and Postman API, you can also execute API tests written in Postman as part of your CI workflow.

Configuring CI integration

Create your CI project first, then connect Postman to your CI tool to configure CI integration for your API. The information for CI build jobs is available in Postman once CI integration has been configured. To browse recent build jobs, check the progress of the build, and even begin a new build, choose Test and Automation for your API.

Configuring the Postman CLI for CI

Running API tests as part of your CI workflow aids in aligning API producers' and customers' expectations in sync.

First, generate the Postman CLI configuration code in Postman to run your API tests concurrently with each build. After that, integrate the configuration code into your CI project. The Postman CLI uses the Postman API to execute your test collections each time a CI build is executed. Your test results may be viewed in Postman.
