How to update credentials from nodes package or core package

[RicardoE105]

Can’t you renew the token within the same workflow? If it’s an HTTP Request, it would probably return 401 when the token is expired. If so, then you refresh it and then use the new refreshed token to continue the workflow.

Also, perhaps you can reference the token in the credentials using expressions? You can also access env variables from the credentials.

Just a couple of thoughts

Loading credentials fields from environment variables

Welcome to the community @mitch! What you want to do is possible with: {{ $env.VARIABLE_NAME }} But only in more current versions (support got added with 0.104.0) and it looks like you probably use version 0.98.0: So if you upgrade and use the correct syntax it should work.

Set Credentials programmatically [GOT CREATED]

Did just add full expression support to credentials: That allows now to use any kind of flow data in credentials. The only limitation is that it uses always the data of the first item. So if there are two items the first one having name: frank1, the second name: tom2 and credentials using the following expression {{$json.name}} it would use in the credentials only the value frank1.
