Create and assign a flow parameter for reuse

Use this procedure to create a parameter and assign it to a module. The example used in this procedure shows how to reuse authentication credentials (username/password) across different flow runtimes in an HTTP Request module.

Part 1: Create a flow parameter for reuse

1. In CONNECT flows select Manage, then select Parameters.

2. Select (+) to add a Parameter.

3. Enter a name and type and default value for the parameter, then select Create.

   Note: When no flow runtime-specific value is defined, the default value is used when running and deploying a flow in a flow runtime.

4. Select the elipsis menu (3-stacked dots) of the newly created parameter and select Manage Parameter.

5. Select the Flow runtimes tab.

6. Select the elipsis menu (3-stacked dots).

7. Select flow runtime(s) from the list, then select Add to x Flow runtime(s) (where x equals the number of Flow runtimes selected).

   The flow runtime updates with the selected parameter.

8. Select Close.

Part 2: Assign the parameter to a module

Now that the parameter value is specified for the flow runtime, assign the parameter to a module configuration.

9. In Flow Studio, select the flow name, then select Manage Parameters.

10. Navigate to the module you want to assign the parameter to.

11. Select x to open the dropdown menu, then select the setting that you want to override -- the Credential on the HTTP Request module.

12. Select the parameter name from the dropdown menu.

13. Select Save.

Note: Assign the parameter in CONNECT flows on the Flow page by selecting the flow to assign the new parameter to and then select it from the module.

Part 3: Confirm the parameter is assigned to the module

14. On the Parameter page, verify that the parameter is set on at least one flow.

15. In Flow Studio, confirm that a P icon appears next to the HTTP Request module.

16. In flow runtime, confirm the new parameter appears in the flow runtime details.
