External User Collection Beta

Get Help External Collections, Custom Actions & Collections
#1

I have been attempting to complete the external database and user authentication connection using Xano and Adalo. I have followed everything in the this video tutorial series: External Users Beta Tutorial - YouTube

However, when asked to select ‘Which output is the user ID?’, I am not able to select userid as an output as the videos describe. If I were to leave it as authtoken what would the implications of this be?

My Xano response does generate both an authtoken and userid as a response however, it is not being picked on the Adalo side.

Please see screenshot below for more detail.

Unfortunately you’ll have to restart the setup to get userid and authToken.

The external collections is still in beta and runs into such issues on and off.

Thank you @bhanu, it was just as you suggested a beta bug, restarting the external collection process helped.
