Flex Connector Variables

This document describes the variables configuration option of the Flex Connector. As the Flex Connector configuration might be long and complicated to review, you can set variables to help in managing and editing of these defined variables.
When configuring a variable, users will need to enter the variable name and variable value. Once a variable is configured, it can be used in multiple different parameters. In order to use a variable in the configuration, users will need to enter the variable name in curly brackets.

Panoply supports two types of variables:

• Regular variable - Users can edit and view both variable name and its value.
• Secured variable - Once the connector is saved and reloaded the variable value will be masked and cannot be viewed. The value will still be editable by clicking on the lock icon and resetting it completely.

Examples:

• Variable name: access_token
• Variable value: my secret access token
• Headers configuration: {"access_token":"{access_token}"}

• Variable name: records
• Variable value: 10
• URL Parameters configuration: type=record&limit={records}
