Hello, New to workflows but I found out that Lister users with filter for deprovisioned users, then pulls the date and minus 7 days. then puts all users deprovisioned longer than 7 days and calls a helper flow to delete users. the calling of and the helper flow error for 405 Method Not Allow. Thanks, Scott ---

Can you add a screenshot showing all the cards in the Execution History view? Include the helper flow execution if the error happens there. ---

The main flow doesn’t pass the ID value into the helper flow (child flow), and then when the flow calls the Okta-Delete User card, it doesn’t provide the user ID to delete, which results in an error. sn ![Screenshot 2025-09-12 at 10.48.07 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/oktadev/original/2X/b/b6c67529876f1a581ee22a4bf27d5202d4a78725.jpeg) ---

Thank you for that, how do i map that? there is a mapping between the two orange arrows you show. And I see them added to the list but I assume I need then in that bottom ID field? ![Screenshot 2025-09-12 151900](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/oktadev/original/2X/4/4d35d653c8be44ad31ff047e919bfc96020920be.jpeg) ---

I looked at the image you shared again and noticed the ID is not set on the last card (For Each). Click the arrow on the right side and select a value from there. Should be the item itself. ![Screenshot 2025-09-12 095722](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/oktadev/original/2X/1/1bdd8fe3b9e754a8ce37f4b50df416c29f01d41e.png) You can also follow the guide in this KB article: - [How to Setup a Workflows Helper Flow (with For-Each and Streaming Cards)](https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/How-to-Setup-a-Workflows-Helper-Flow-With-ForEach-and-StreamingCards) And, if still not working, I’m happy to jump on a quick Zoom ([max.katz@okta.com](mailto:max.katz@okta.com)). ---

success.. The arrow allowed me to select item and now the flow just ran successfully. such a simple miss but thank you for the help and guidance. Scott
