Flow Action, REST step, Issue adding Credential

[Jamsta1912]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a flow action to make an API call.

I have created a credential record (API Key), a connection record, and an alias.

I'm using the connection alias in my REST step, and I'm using the data pill to add the credential value to the header:

 

When I test the step, I get an error: code: 401 - Invalid username/password combo.

If I paste the API token directly into the value for the token header (in lieu of the Credential value data pill) the API call is made successfully.

And here's the thing: when I look at the Request headers in the outbound HTTP log, I can see that ServiceNow is adding the text 'authorization=' in front of the actual API key, and it's leaving the 'token' header without a value:

 

So I can make this work, by simply pasting the API key directly into the value for the token header, but I would like to avoid having to do this, and would prefer to follow best practice using the connection alias.

Any thoughts on this issue?

Thanks

Fun fact. I originally used a certain word in my previous post, and I got this message:

But, apparently I am allowed to use the word ecstacy 😉

Hi Jamsta,

Do you use this method in scoped app or global?
