App Variables
Connector Outputs
- For SQL connectors, check Return Multiple Rows - this format the output as an array.
- For HTTP connectors, select the output data type and toggle List.
Linked Records
- For one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many, multiple linked records are stored as a list of linked records.
