Root Cause Analysis: 
The automation by default fetches data for all associated data objects and entities such as Tasks, Activities and obviously Leads/Opportunities and Owner fields. While retrieving data from the database, any field value containing special characters, but not limited to (), the internal Web Application Firewall breaks and the authentication token is immediately invalidated. 

Solutions:
1) If the number of affected entities and workflows are limited, please ask the customer to remove any special characters on the same. 
2) If the above is not possible, plan B is to raise a dev. ticket to Manikanta or the Relevant WAF Dev. POC to check the feasibility of whitelisting the same.
