Step-03: Allow access to the app (one time only)

  • Adding the macro to the page

  • Publishing the page

  • Click on 'allow access' and follow the instructions on the screen

  • Once granted, you can go back to editing the parameters of the macro.

You’ll need to do this only once.

Step-04: Change the macro parameters

Macro parameters are used to change the behaviour of a macro.

To change the macro parameters:

  1. In the editor, click the macro placeholder and choose Edit.

  2. Update the parameters as required. All changes are saved automatically.
