  2. API Key: Create an API key in Render Account Settings.

Set up in StackAI

Verify the connection

Check that the connection is healthy. Then run a read operation against a resource the connected account can access. A successful connection check confirms authentication; it does not guarantee permission for every action.

If access is denied, check the credential or OAuth permissions, the selected account or environment, and access to the specific resource. Update expired credentials or reconnect after permissions change.

Use an action

  1. Add the required Render action to the workflow.

  2. Select a connection when the action requests one.

  3. Complete the required fields. Use the reference picker when a value comes from another workflow step.

  4. Run the workflow and inspect the action’s output. Check the result before using it in a later step.
