    This error occurs when you haven't specified which part of the HTTP API response should be used in the waterfall. To resolve it, you need to provide a field path that points to the specific data you want to extract from the API response. Here's how to fix it: 1. In the HTTP API step of your waterfall, look for a field called "Field Paths to Return" or something similar. 2. Enter the path to the data you want to use, using dot notation for nested objects. For example: "object1.object2.name". 3. If you need multiple fields, separate them with commas. This tells Clay which part of the API response to use in the waterfall, allowing it to pass that data to the next step. Can you provide more details about the specific API you're using and what data you're trying to extract? This would help me give you a more precise example.
