I set application metadata on the machine to machine application, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get that data to appear in the authtoken. How do I do that?

Hey @athomas!

Application metadata are custom string keys and values (each of which has a character maximum of 255), set on a per application basis. Metadata is exposed in the Application object as client\_metadata, and in Rules as context.clientMetadata.

Let me know if that helps!
