​
Using Dynamic Connections

A dynamic connection allows you to assign a connection at runtime using a dynamic variable. Instead of selecting a fixed connection, you can configure steps to reference a dynamic variable using the variable picker, typically an input parameter,that resolves to a valid connection during execution.

1

Open the Variable Picker

In the workflow step that requires a connection, click on the Connections Required dropdown menu. This opens the Variable Picker.

2

Select a Dynamic Variable

Choose a dynamic variable (typically an input parameter) to assign the connection.

Ensure the connection type matches the expected type for the action. If the types don’t match, the step will fail to execute.

​
Example: Adding a Dynamic Connection via Input Parameters

You can configure actions in your workflow to use dynamic connections by passing the connection as an input parameter. This allows the connection to be selected at runtime, giving you greater flexibility and reusability across different workflows.

You can also obtain Connection ID in the ‘Connections’ page. Navigate to the ‘Connections’ page lick the icon next to the connection and select Copy ID. Use the ID in your steps, not the connection name.

1

Create an Input Parameter

Create an input parameter and set its type to ‘Connection’ to allow the workflow to receive a connection ID at runtime.

2

Open the Variable Picker in a Step

In the workflow step that requires a connection, click on the ‘Connections Required’ dropdown menu to open the Variable Picker.

3

Select the Input Parameter

Select the input parameter you created in Step 1 as the dynamic variable for the connection.

4

Run the Workflow with a Connection ID

Start the workflow and provide a valid connection ID through the input parameter. The step will use this connection during execution.
