Hi Anonymous 

If it has a parameter then you need to pass the value on the parameter placeholder to work with Web connector.

 

You can split the link into mulitple parts but need to pass the values.

Hello Hariharan,

 

Thanks for your response.

I did tried the approach as per reference link, but I still get the same error. 

But, the URL and authentication token works fine in postman.

 

Not able to figure out.

 

Thanks,

Shirish
