Hi,
I'm trying to deploy bots with input parameters using Automation Anywhere API. I've successfully managed to pass string, number and boolean variables to the bot, but I can't seem to figure out what is the correct json syntax to pass dictionaries, list or datetime variables. I've looked for it in the swagger (https://dev-damantia.my.automationanywhere.digital/swagger/) but can't find information about it
I'm using the Postman collection provided by @MICAH SMITH in this video https://youtu.be/UZJ68r64oxA
Here is what I'v tried so far:
-List:
{
"fileId": *****, //id of the bot to execute
"runAsUserIds": [
*** //id(s) of the user account to run the bot - must have default device unless specified below
],
"poolIds": [],
"overrideDefaultDevice": false,
"callbackInfo": {
"url": "https://callbackserver.com/storeBotExecutionStatus", //Callback URL - not required, but can be used - can be removed if no callback needed
"headers": {
"X-Authorization": "{{token}}" //Callback API headers. Headers may contain authentication token, content type etc. Both key & value are of type string.
}
},
"BotInput": { //optional values to map to the bot...NOTE: These values must match the exact variable names and must be defined as input values
"lInput1": {
"type": "LIST", //Type can be [ STRING, NUMBER, BOOLEAN, LIST, DICTIONARY, DATETIME ]
"list": ["Value11","Value12"] //key must match type, in this case string
},
"lInput2": {
"type": "LIST",
"list": ["Value21","Value22"] //key must match type, in this case string
}
}
-Dictionary:
{
"fileId": ******, //id of the bot to execute
"runAsUserIds": [
*** //id(s) of the user account to run the bot - must have default device unless specified below
],
"poolIds": [],
"overrideDefaultDevice": false,
"callbackInfo": {
"url": "https://callbackserver.com/storeBotExecutionStatus", //Callback URL - not required, but can be used - can be removed if no callback needed
"headers": {
"X-Authorization": "{{token}}" //Callback API headers. Headers may contain authentication token, content type etc. Both key & value are of type string.
}
},
"BotInput": { //optional values to map to the bot...NOTE: These values must match the exact variable names and must be defined as input values
"dInput1": {
"type": "DICTIONARY", //Type can be [ STRING, NUMBER, BOOLEAN, LIST, DICTIONARY, DATETIME ]
"dictionary": [{"Key1":"Value1"}] //key must match type, in this case string
},
"dInput2": {
"type": "DICTIONARY",
"dictionary": [{"Key2":"Value2"}] //key must match type, in this case string
}
}
}
-Datetime:
{
"fileId": *******, //id of the bot to execute
"runAsUserIds": [
*** //id(s) of the user account to run the bot - must have default device unless specified below
],
"poolIds": [],
"overrideDefaultDevice": false,
"callbackInfo": {
"url": "https://callbackserver.com/storeBotExecutionStatus", //Callback URL - not required, but can be used - can be removed if no callback needed
"headers": {
"X-Authorization": "{{token}}" //Callback API headers. Headers may contain authentication token, content type etc. Both key & value are of type string.
}
},
"BotInput": { //optional values to map to the bot...NOTE: These values must match the exact variable names and must be defined as input values
"dtInput1": {
"type": "DATETIME", //Type can be [ STRING, NUMBER, BOOLEAN, LIST, DICTIONARY, DATETIME ]
"datetime": "03/02/1999" //key must match type, in this case string
},
"dtInput2": {
"type": "DATETIME",
"datetime": "03/05/1999" //key must match type, in this case string
}
}
}
With all these API requests the bot is being deployed, but it is receiving empty variables. What should be the correct json syntax for these data types?
Thank you
