Add input and output fields to connector cards
In addition to options fields, you can use the Inputs and Outputs dialog windows to add inputs and outputs to your connector cards.
Input fields
Inputs are the fields on a card that accept data during the execution of a flow. For the card user, this is done using one or both of these methods:
-
Manually entering information into the fields
-
Mapping outputs (using drag-and-drop) from other cards in the flow
To add fields to a card, click Add Inputs on a Connector Action card.
