Generating an unique UUID identifier

Intro

You can quickly generate an unique UUID identifier in Server Connect and use it in your API Action (Server Action) steps, where required.

Generating UUID

The UUID is available in the global value in the server data picker, not as a separate step in the server action steps. So it will be available for you in every step, where you see the data picker icon - database insert, update and many others.
