REST Connector – Create Group does not return ID (no output mapping) – how do you handle this?

Hello,

 

REST connector – Create Group succeeds but no response output is available (Group ID not captured).

 

How can we capture the returned ID to continue actions like adding members or assigning owners?

 

Any best practices or workarounds? 

 

Thanks!

    Could you capture the ID of the group in the detailed response option of the connector? If so, you could in theory have some node in your workflow to read that data and update it directly on the group for usage for add member calls.

      To add to this: normally this should be solved with a command output parameter option, but I checked and it doesn't exist for the Create Group command in the rest connector.

    Thanks Tim 👍

     

    I think this should be handled natively by the connector — capturing the ID from a successful response shouldn’t rely on error parsing.

      I totally agree, hence my second comment in regards to the output parameter mapping which should normally solve this case. However since this is only available for Create Account commands it will not work for when a group is created.
