Hey,

I would like to make webhook what will take as value API token to external API (toggl). Can I in request node set basic auth but to login be expression? If so, how to do this?

Thanks!

Morning @Shirobachi,

You can use expressions in the credentials themselves through the little cog on the right but you can’t set the dropdown value to be an expression (or shouldn’t be able to).

Hey @Evandro_Caruso,

As long as you don’t change the field from an expression it should be ok, The __n8n_BLANK_VALUE is just some dummy data we return to the UI rather than showing the value when the node goes to use the expression it should be all good.

We should also have a fix in the next release of n8n that prevented some expressions from working in credentials which may help.
