Copilot Studio ChatBot - HTTP request with variable question

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

Hello guys, I have a question about the HTTP request step. I would like to perform a GET request with a variable that was previously collected from the requester.

For example:

  • I ask, "What's your telephone number?"
  • The requester responds: 551999366165
  • I save this telephone number in a variable (telephone) and use it inside of an HTTP request as a query.

Here is an example: https://br-demo-5.topdesk.net/tas/api/persons?query=phoneNumber==${telephone}

I've tried using (Topic.telephone), ${telephone}, and other methods, but nothing has worked yet.

Here's the problem: I don't know how to use a variable within the URL. Is there a correct way to do this, or is it not possible?

    Hi @fbanik 

     

    You can utilize the Power FX concatenate function to construct a URL incorporating variables. Refer to the example below for illustration.

    Hi @kush-sg 

     

    It seems you are not assigning variables correctly. Use Power Fx formulas when creating JSON with variables. See the example below for guidance.
