Data connector fields in workflows?

Question

Hey all,Fin just let me know that data connector fields can’t really be used in a workflow- only through a procedure. I can run the data connector function through a workflow, but then I can’t actually access any of the fields that data connector found to further the conversation. The answer Fin gave me is that this can only be accessed via a procedure.Is this the case? If so, I don’t understand why this functionality would be locked behind Fin procedures- there’s nothing fancy going on with this API call that requires AI.

Okay I’ve found the solution - you just have to recreate the data connector. Updating the outputs of a data connector is not respsected in Workflows currently, and I’ve raised it as a bug. ​@Brian Mir

Hey, I had the same infuriating response. I have used Data Connector outputs in workflows before. Sometimes I have to use AI to write Python to get them formatted in the correct way, but I’ve definetely done it. I don’t understand why it’s not working now and it’s driving me up the wall.

It’s getting Procedures and Workflows mixed up frequently now.
