How do you write the result of an HTTP connector via a Write file to an Azure file storage?

I followed the steps described in: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows_connectors#write-files-to-an-external-location

In the log I get the message:
[ERR] Process action 'write_file' in processflow 'write_product_to_excel' returned the following message: Process action 'write_file' in processflow 'write_product_to_excel' was not provided a (valid) value for its 'File location' parameter. (ca3b443c)

Hello Pierius Lycklama A Nijeholt,

I hope this helps

The process flow looks like this. For testing purposes is also write the HTTP connector content via a decision to a database.

The Write file process action has the option ‘Use process procedure’ checked. In the assigned process procedure the file name is set.

Hi Vincent, 

It works, setting the variable with the file name in the first decision was the solution. Thank you very much.
