Block Type: [Regular](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block)

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/erMICUEH4Fa1CqY7vddo" alt="" width="437"><figcaption><p>Execute Connection Command block</p></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the [Execute API Call](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/execute-api-call.md) block for invoking the [API Call service](/app-editor/connections/services/api-call.md) based [connections](/app-editor/connections.md).
{% endhint %}

The block consists of the following (from top to bottom)::

* *Connection Name:* [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the name of the [connection](/app-editor/connections.md) to use.
* *Command:* [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the [command/operation](/app-editor/connections.md#operation-commands) of the [connection](/app-editor/connections.md) to use.
* *Data*: Optional [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts an [object](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the data to be used when invoking the command/operation. Refer to the specific commands documentation for further details.
* *Success Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the operation completes successfully. The [Connection Data](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/connection-data.md) block can be used to access the output of the command/operation.
* *Fail Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the operation reports an error. The [Connection Error](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/connection-error.md) block can be used to access the error information.

## Usage Example

Upon success, the [Get Object Property](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/get-object-property.md) block is used to access the *client\_secret* and *publishable\_key* properties from the [Connection Data](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/connection-data.md) block which represents the output of the command. The *client\_secret* and *publishable\_key* properties are called to the function *process payment.*

If there was an error with the operation, the [Show Information Popup](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/show-information-popup.md) block is used to show the error information.
