Unable to Connect Error with Parameter

I am using a data set to generate a list of URLs. From this list I have created a parameter (CSTURL) that I am trying to use with the Web connection. 

 

However I am getting the following error:

 

Unable to connect

We encountered an error while trying to connect
Details: "Query 'CSTURL (2)' (step 'Source') references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination."

 

How can I get this connect to work?

You need to separate the "list of URL" dataset and the "web connection" dataset. You can reference the "list of URL" dataset as a step in your "web connection" query. Please refer to this article:

And please ignore the privacy.
