      • I want to call a Popfly mashup and pass in the input parameters as a query string. For example, I want to execute a Popfly mashup that returns a stock quote. However, rather than gethering the ticker symbol from within the mashup, I want to pass it to the mashup. Do I need to use a particular block or call the mashup a certain way. Thanks, Joe
