How to set custom credentials setting and calling

Describe the problem/error/question

I am not sure how to setup custom credentials.
Currently, I am using a self hosted instance and trying to connect to a Vapi.ai agent so that I can tell my agent to make custom phone calls.
I am not sure how to setup the custom credentials since there is not a field for any type of URL for the API call.

I assume that the API URL needs to be set within the workflow itself for every API call needed, but how does the authorization header concatenate with the calls within the workflow?

Hi @Spectrem12

Not exactly sure what you are doing. In the HTTP node you can just setup the API call including the URL.

If you only need the authorization header you can also just create a header auth credential. There is no need to put the URL in credentials, the HTTP node will also not accept a request without the URL included in the regular field.

Could you explain what you are doing and why you are not just using the default HTTP request node fields?
