The underlying systems for these flows have their own copy of the token, which can expire at different points in time.

Threfore, if you see a 401 error in a sample response, it is likely that you’ll also see another request was made after it, to ask the downstream destination for a new token. Then one more request was made to actually send the data in your payload to the downstream destination.

### Is it possible to map a field from one event to another?

Segment integrations process events through mappings individially. This means that no context is held that would allow you to map a value from one event to the field of a subsequent event. Each event itself must contain all of the data you'd like to send downstream in regards to it. For example, you cannot send `email` in on an Identify call and then access that same `email` field on a Track call that comes in later if that Track call doesn't also have `email` set on it.
