Dynamic Connections can't find connection

[Bram]

Hi Team,

I followed the steps on finding the External ID’s of my connection by hovering over them and copied the ID:

But when trying to use them it’s not loading:

Next I tried to use the Read Connection Piece to see if i should get a different ID or something, then I received the following error:

Hope you can help me out!

the way you are doing it only works for the input for reading the connection in that specific action, please use this instead
{{connections[‘YOUR_EXTERNAL_ID’]}}

I know it won’t look right if you switch a step and go back to the step where you are using the connection like this, we are fixing this soon.

Hi @Abdul,

Thanks for the reply! I was trying the dynamic input but it also came with an issue I think, please see below:
Dynamic

Connection

Right, under the api key input, put this:

{{connections['YOUR_EXTERNAL_ID']}}

where the YOUR_EXTERNAL_ID text will be replaced with the external id you see in your connections table.

{{connections['6Qvq....LhhL']}}

@Abdul

{{connections['6Qvq....LhhL']}}

WOOHOO, it works! thanks Abdul.
