activate a workflow via restapi call passing a variable to the flow being activated

How do you activate a workflow via restapi call passing a variable to the flow being activated?

[Joel Wiesmann]

Hi Ron

You need to do a POST request on the executions endpoint

https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/AA/24.3/DOCU/24.3/REST%20API/Automation.Engine/index.html?overrideUrls=../Automation.Engine/swagger.json,../Continuous.Delivery.Automation/swagger.json,../Analytics/swagger.json,../Infrastructure.Manager/swagger.json

The example from the documentation provides two variables:

    "TEXTFIELD1#": "test",
    "CHECKGROUP1#": "AE/AE"

You need to catch them in the object (that is started) by either having a promptset attached to it fetching the variables or by utilizing the READ AE script statement.
