Setup and validation

  1. Create a connection and give it a clear name.
  2. Complete required fields and the separate secret field.
  3. Run “Test” and read the diagnostics.
  4. Save the connection and select it in the appropriate flow block.

A successful test does not replace checking access to the required object and specific write mode.

Use in a flow

Server and account settings are stored in the connection. The specific object, fields and flow behavior are defined in the block. Go to data-handling rules →
