Connections

Connections in ZBrain Flow facilitate seamless integration with external platforms, enabling users to securely retrieve and manage connection details. This feature is particularly beneficial when connection external IDs are dynamically received, such as through a webhook message. Instead of manually specifying a connection, this action allows you to dynamically fetch the appropriate connection based on the received external ID, ensuring greater flexibility and automation in your workflows.

Finding the Connection External ID

The external ID can be found on the connection settings page. Hover over the connection name to reveal and copy the external ID. This helps retrieve connection values using their external IDs from the project.
