I'm using external services to do a Callout and my input parameter is an array. I'm having trouble passing a collection variable as an input to the Action on a Flow.
I imported the following Service Schema JSON to an External Service
{
"swagger": "2.0",

}
}
}
],
"responses": {
"201": {
"description": "item created"
},
"400": {
"description": "invalid input, object invalid"

"409": {
"description": "an existing item already exists"
}
}
}
}
},
"definitions": {
"Contact": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"firstName": {
"type": "string",
"example": "John"
},
"lastName": {
"type": "string",
"example": "Smith"
}
}
},
"Account": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "string",
"example": "Account Name"
},
"contacts": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/Contact"
}
}
}
}
}
}
I created the Accounts parameter on the schema definition following the suggestion here: External Services Considerations where it says "Supported Inline Array Definition with Reference to Array Items Definition".
I created my accounts variable in my flow
The issue I'm having is when I want to pass the variable as an input to the Action, the collection I created doesn't appear as an option:
Does anyone know how set the input correctly? I assume this should be possible since Salesforce details how to create the arrays definitions.
Thanks!!
