The Credential Prompt action prompts the user to enter credential information. It allows the user to edit a credential in real time. The Credential Prompt 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 Credential Prompt action

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

2. Select the Credential for which you want to display a prompt. Optionally, click the Magic Wand to use the Expression Builder.

3. 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.

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

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

When the action is run, a Prompt Credential window opens and the user will need to enter the username and password information for the credential. When the user clicks OK, the credential is edited.
