Can't refer existing OAuth2 API credential in HTTP request

[lequeuxa]

Hi,

I am using N8N cloud, 1.21.1

I would like to create a simple HTTP request on Salesforce but I can’t refer existing OAuth2 API credentials, any guess why?

Thanks and regards,
Antoine

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

Hey @lequeuxa,

Rather than using Generic Credential Type can you change it to Predefined Credential Type that will allow you to use existing credentials that have been set up for other nodes. The Generic Credential Type is there if you wanted to create your own credential which can be useful if you need to use custom scopes that we don’t currently set in our credential.
