Add input and output fields to connector cards
In addition to options fields, use the Inputs and Outputs dialog 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 by manually entering information into the fields or mapping outputs (by drag-and-drop) from other cards in a flow.
To add fields to a card, on a Connector Action card, click Add Inputs.

|---|---|---|
| Group Name |

Input fields that are dynamically imported from an application or project are required to be grouped under a single group name. |
