Hi all, how can I pass custom variables to workflow through HTTP request? I've tried different approaches This approach is not accepted when I call workflow "assistantOverrides": { "variableValues": { "name": "John" } This doesn't throw an error but the assistant doesn't get the variables in metadata and they just read the variables name. { "type": "outboundPhoneCall", "workflowId": "asdfdsafd", "phoneNumberId": "fdsafdsafdsa", "customer": { "number": "{{ $node['Recruiter with Phone Number?'].json.message.content.phoneNumber }}" }, "metadata": { "messageID": "{{ $node['Get a message'].json.id }}", "recruiterName": "{{ $node['Recruiter with Phone Number?'].json.message.content.recruiterName }}", "emailSummary": "{{ $node['Recruiter with Phone Number?'].json.message.content.Summary }}" } } I made sure that the variable names are identical. Any idea how to approach it? #1211483291191083018 #1228667357849849856 #1211484481848873020

Pass custom variables via assistantOverrides.variableValues in your HTTP request, not metadata, then use {{variableName}} in your workflow prompts..

I've tried that, the problem is that I don't call assisstant but the workflow, That message with assistantOverrides.variableValues errors out

You can’t pass custom variables to a workflow directly only assistant calls support assistantOverrides.variableValues, so use an assistant to inject variables before routing to the workflow..

i'm having the same issue, i can pass things like customer.name works fine but any variables passed in the assistantOverrides and variableValues aren't being picked up in the workflow, the agent is just reading the variable names

Variables only work if passed via

workflowOverrides.variableValues

in a webhook response or

assistantOverrides.variableValues

when starting from an assistant, direct workflow calls can't use dynamic variables yet..

I see, thank you. So what is the point in workflowOverrides.variableValues then if you can't use dynamic variables? And what's the workaround for this? i know you used to be able to make assistants that use workflows but i can't understand how to do this since recent updates. thanks again!

workflowOverrides.variableValues

only works when routing from an assistant via webhook; to use dynamic variables, start with an assistant using

assistantOverrides

, then redirect to a workflow..

Hi to anyone here, i fixed this issue just by having an API tool make a call home to retrieve the information and submitting the externalId variable to declare the ID for this call for when the tool calls home for all the variables it needs.

Glad it fixed
