Voiceflow API parameters
Hello people - do any of you know how to pass variable calues (like name and email address entered by the user) into an API block raw body? I assume I have to set the parameters and then call the keys from the code, but that doesn't work.
This is the code I have that works with static values:
{
"sendWelcomeEmail": true,
"firstName": "Dan",
"tags": [
"Mila"
],
"identifiers": [
{
"type": "email",
"consent": {
"source": "Mila"
},
"channels": {
"email": {
"status": "subscribed"
}
},
"id": "dan+26@spacedroid.co.uk"
}
],
"country": "United Kingdom",
"countryCode": "GB"
}
But when I set the parameters and use this it does not:
{
"sendWelcomeEmail": true,
"firstName": first_name,
"tags": [
"Mila"
],
"identifiers": [
{
"type": "email",
"consent": {
"source": "Mila"
},
"channels": {
"email": {
"status": "subscribed"
}
},
"id": email_address
}
],
"country": "United Kingdom",
"countryCode": "GB"
}
Thank you so much!
Cheers,
Dan

To pass variable values into an API block raw body in Voiceflow, you need to use the correct syntax for referencing variables. In your case, you're trying to pass the variables
first_name and email_address into the API block. However, you're not referencing them correctly in your JSON body.
In Voiceflow, variables are referenced using the {variable} syntax. So, your JSON body should look like this:
Please note that the variable names are case-sensitive and should match exactly with the ones you've defined in your project.
