Definition and Usage
Enter account credentials in a dialog. The password will be securely encrypted for later use. This action provides a user-friendly interface to collect username and password information during workflow execution, storing them securely for subsequent actions that require authentication.
Parameter Values
Input parameters
Parameter | Description | Possible Values | Required | Options / Notes |
Title | Enter the title of the credentials dialog | Any text | Yes | This will appear at the top of the dialog box |
Error handling
Parameter Name | Description |
Throw error & stop | When an error occurs, the action will trigger an error and stop the execution of the entire app. |
Retry command | If an error occurs, the action will retry the command in an attempt to resolve the issue and continue the process. |
Ignore error & continue | When an error occurs, the action will be ignored, and the workflow will continue without interruption. |
Variables produced
This action produces an object-type variable that stores the entered credentials. The variable name is specified in the "Store credentials into" parameter and contains both the username and password in an encrypted format.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use the {x} notation to insert previously defined variables into the Title field. This allows for dynamic dialog titles based on workflow context or user information.
The credentials object stored in the output variable can be used in subsequent actions that require authentication, such as web login operations or database connections. The system automatically handles the secure encryption and decryption of the password data.
Notes
The credentials dialog will prompt users for both a username and password during workflow execution.
The password is securely encrypted in memory and cannot be viewed in plain text once entered.
This action is useful for workflows that need to collect authentication information without hardcoding sensitive data.
The dialog is modal, meaning the workflow will pause until the user enters credentials and confirms or cancels the dialog.
If the user cancels the credentials dialog, the action will trigger an error based on the selected error handling option.
