Hello,

When using the “send credentials” with REST plugin in a flow, the Bearer token is not added.

On this image you can see the send credentials setting and the missing Authorization header :

Workaround for now is to add it manually in the headers section

Thanks

Got it :

send credentials means : send the cookies, not send the auth token

Thanks for taking the time to share this @vwasteels, super helpful!

A good reminder that we need to try to better explain this option in the product and the user docs.
