There is no book with the ID "{{docApp.searchBookRescue.bid}}", so the book filter from this link was ignored and results from all books are shown.

You have an odd number of " characters in your search terms - each one needs closing with a matching " character!

  • Give the oAuth 2.0 KeySafe key a Title (this is the name / identifier for the oAuth 2.0 account as you will see it when using the cloud automation node in your workflows);
  • Optionally populate the Description field;
  • Populate the following fields accordingly, then click the Create Key button to create your new key:
