Clear Credential

The Clear Credential action clears the text from a credential. The Clear Credential action currently only works on a locally-created credentials (i.e., credentials in the botflow), not credentials created in the Credential Vault in Nintex RPA Central.

Note: The Actions Quick Reference provides a complete list of actions that you can print for easy reference.

Create a Clear Credential action

  1. Click Data and select Clear Credential from the Actions list.

  2. Select the credentials that you want to Clear:

    • All selected credentials

    • All except selected credentials

    • All credentials

  3. Select the Field that you want to clear from the credentials:

    • All

    • Username

    • Password

    • Fields

  4. If you selected to clear all selected credentials or all credentials except selected ones, individually select the credentials that you want to clear or not clear. Or, click Check All or Uncheck All.

  5. If needed, adjust the Run error task settings to fine tune how the action runs.

    • Run error task: A botflow containing an error task automatically runs the error task in the event of an error. If the botflow does not contain an error task, the botflow stops in the event of an error.
    • Stop on error: The botflow stops in the event of an error.
    • Ignore errors: The action is skipped in the event of an error and the botflow attempts to execute the next action.

  6. (Optional) Add a Note to document special instructions or functionality.

  7. Toggle the run switch to Run and click OK to execute and save the action.

When the action is executed, the values of the credentials you selected are cleared.

If you selected to clear Username or Password fields, a blank message will be sent because the value is empty, but the fields still exist.

If you selected to clear Fields, the complete name and value of the fields are cleared. If you attempt to execute an action that is set up to send a field value to the target, the action will fail and you will receive a warning that states, "Specified Field of the Credential does not exist."
