Hi all,

I’m able to use this app to write cookie (store in browser). However, it’s not clear to me how to use this plugin to read the cookie that was stored in the previous step. There is a cookie reader element but I don’t know how to get it to work. Can anybody help? The app in question is this one:

Just place the ‘CookieReader’ element on the page.

Then you can access the cookie value in other elements on the page or in your workflows.

There is a link to a video inside this post:

Dynamic Token In API Connector Authorization Header APIs

I am working with an API that requires to pass an authorization token in the header of each call. The token expires every hour and gets refreshed with a refresh token. The newly refreshed token needs to be passed in the header with subsequent calls. Is there a way to make the token dynamic in the header so that it can be changed frequently instead of hard coded?

The cookies are stored on the user’s computer.

To read them, place the ‘CookieReader’ element on your page, and input the specific cookie you want to read.

You can then access that cookie’s value by referring to the ‘CookieReader’ element elsewhere on the page, or in a workflow.
