Can't seem to update an existing WordPress post

[Taz]

Hi there!

I'm setting up a workflow that accepts input from an email, and then updates an existing WordPress post with the emailed content. However, when testing the workflow, the WordPress action kicks back this response:

Code: rest_cannot_edit
Message: Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this post.
Data Status: 401

Anyone know why this is happening? I've tried this on a couple of WordPress blogs with the same results.

Thanks for your time!

That did the trick! Thank you so much!

Sorry for the delay in my reply. I got Covid right after publishing my original post. Life is just returning to normal. Thanks again!
