Use request body
This must be a super basic question, but i cant seem to figure it out. How do I use the value that i get from the previous node "Get request body" (i am trying to grab user_id) and pass it into the node Get Firestore Document with User ID as value user_id from previous node?

To pass the value of
user_id from the "Get Request Body" node to the "Get Firestore Document" node, follow these steps:
1. Get Request Body Node: Ensure this node is correctly set up to retrieve the user_id from the request body. The user_id should be stored in a variable.
2. Variable Reference: Note the variable name where user_id is stored. Let's assume it's stored in a variable named user_id.
3. Get Firestore Document Node:
- Edit the "Get Firestore Document" node.
- In the input field for the document path or ID, reference the user_id variable from the previous node.
- Use the syntax ctx["root"]["previous_node_id"]["variable_name"] to reference the variable. Replace previous_node_id with the actual ID of the "Get Request Body" node and variable_name with user_id.
Example:
4. Testing: Test the workflow to ensure that the user_id is correctly passed and used to retrieve the Firestore document.
