I’m trying to write a flow where the call service node’s entity_id is defined by a prior function, but no matter what I try I can’t seem to get it to accept the input.
I’m leaving the entity_id field empty on the call service node, and have tried both a template and a function node to set the entity_id.
Can anyone supply an example of achieving this?
service node should have the entity_id setup like this: {{payload.entity_id}}
