Hi, in Flowrunner how do you pass a variable or database field in a HTTP Request? I’m not able to pass a variable through the json and when I try to submit a text version of my json, I get an error. Is there a way I can add the variable or configure the text?
Thank you in advance
Hi @Ron_Gong ,
Could you please provide more details on the steps you take to reproduce the error, as well as the specific error you are encountering?
You can find the documentation for working with variables here:
For a variable to become accessible, it must first be executed by the corresponding block. For instance, in Test Mode, you may predefine a variable’s value, but it will only become available after the “Set Variable” block has been executed (Run Block button).

Hi, so I’m actually trying to place the variable or database field in the body of the request. I’m able to do so with the text input but i receive a response of “We could not parse the JSON body of your request.” I suspect this is a formatting issue but I’m not able to see the request that is being sent to troubleshoot.
When I try to add a “json” input, there are no options to insert a variable or database field.
Hi Ron,
Is the body of the request going to be a JSON object?
Regards,
Mark
Here’s a video that demonstrates how to construct a body for an HTTP request:
Thank you! That was super helpful. I was missing the object creation.
