  1. Open following url in browser and login to your AAD account when prompted.

    https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=token&response_mode=fragment&prompt=select_account&client_id=cac88df7-3599-49cf-9465-867b9eee33cf&redirect_uri=http://localhost:22222/ActionsPlatform&scope=https://actions.office365.com/ActionPackage.ReadWrite.All

    Copy the access_token value from this url.
