Edit a credential

Edit a credential when a token expires or is replaced, a password changes, or you want a clearer name. Every node and workflow that uses it picks up the change: you don’t re-select it anywhere.

Edit a credential

Open Credentials in the sidebar. On the credential’s row, open the ⋯ menu and click Open: the Edit Credential form opens. Hover or tap a step to find it on the screen.

2. 2 Step 2:Update the description Optional: what the credential is for.
3. 3 Step 3:Replace the secret Paste the new token (here Bearer Token), or change Username and Password or the Client ID. For a Google or Microsoft 365 credential, click Check connection again: it signs in fresh, so newly added permissions are granted.
4. 4 Step 4:Click Update Credential Check: every node and workflow that uses the credential now uses the new values.

Move it between this browser and your account

In the same ⋯ menu, Move to cloud stores the credential encrypted on your AWFlow account, so you can use it on your other devices. Move to local brings it back into this browser only. See Local or cloud.

Delete a credential

Choose Delete in the ⋯ menu and confirm. Workflows that used it stop at that step until you pick another credential.

If it still fails after editing

• Run one step that uses it with Test step: the error names the problem, for example a missing scope.
• Check the service’s own dashboard: the token may be revoked, or the account over its rate limit.
• Open the service’s connection page for the list of common errors.
