Where your token lives

Where your token lives — 

The credential is stored where you choose when you create it:

• Local (this browser only): encrypted in this browser. The encryption key is kept on the same device, so turn on the local secret vault to lock it with a passphrase only you know.
• Cloud (synced to your account): sent over an encrypted connection and stored encrypted on AWFlow’s server, so it works on your other devices.

When a step runs, your browser sends it only to the Base URL you set in the node (for example api.baserow.io or app.nocodb.com). AWFlow’s servers never relay the call.

Common issues

• “Baserow API Error: 401” or “NocoDB API Error: 401”. The token is wrong or doesn’t cover this table. Create one that does.
• “404 Not Found”. Check Base URL (no path after the address, right port) and Table ID.
• The run is blocked in the web app. Baserow / NocoDB runs through the browser extension. Install the extension and allow Baserow / NocoDB for this workflow when asked, or run the workflow from the extension. See Extension-only integrations in the web app.
