Use Bearer token in Credential for REST Integration

[Rashi Kulshresh]

Hi , 

I am doing a REST Integration using flow designer. For Authentication, I am using bearer token, which needs to be send in Authorization header. But Instead of directly putting the token in Authorization header, I want to use Credential Alias. But I am not able to find suitable credential type to put Bearer token. I cant use Oauth type credential as I don't have client Id and Client Secret. I have direct generated token. 

I tried API key credential but in runtime its not picking the Authorization header automatically . And failing with error "Error: U,Detail: Unexpected token: U" . 

@Ankur Bawiskar @Chuck Tomasi @Brad Tilton Please help.

Thanks.

There is a blog which explains how to use this using the scripted api way not the credential alias.

Hi Rashi,

I had the same question. This oneworked for me.

Also worth to mention - in the Executions Log, the Value will be hidden, so seems to be secure to use:
