Question

how to send authorization token for the trigger

Javier Sanchez

Good evening community.

I am trying to pass the authorization token variable (of type API KEY) for the trigger in the header, I use Bearer {{bundle.authData.accessToken}} and it gives me error 401 but if I put the code in hard if it works, so which I deduce is the way I send the information. Someone can help me

    @Javier Sanchez - In that case, are you sure the API key field name is accessToken? I would start by verifying that. Can you show us a screenshot of the authentication fields setup? Thanks!

    @Javier Sanchez - In your case, you should use Session Authentication instead of API authentication.
