Click Choose Flow to select a helper flow where the search results will be streamed, then click Choose to confirm.

Known issues

When using the List Employees action card, avoid making any updates to employee records, either through the Update Employee action card or direct API calls. Some records can be skipped or returned twice if the source is updated during the card execution.

Also, to improve performance, limit the number of Readable employee attributes specified during creation of the API credentials.
