In {{< ui >}}Request Headers{{< /ui >}}, {{< ui >}}URL parameters{{< /ui >}}, or the {{< ui >}}Body{{< /ui >}}, reference the token with the syntax `{{ secretTokenName }}`, replacing `secretTokenName` with the {{< ui >}}Token Name{{< /ui >}} from the previous step. For example, if the token name is `apiToken`, add an `Authorization` header with the value `Bearer {{ apiToken }}`.
