Unable to replace JSON data elements with user input variables. Additionally, how to externalize path parameters in HTTP PUT calls.

HI Team.

   I am using the copilot studio for topic configurations. While making an HTTP PUT call, how can we configure  the path parameters.

The employee id is accepted via the question and stored to a local variable.

 

Sample api 

PUT /employee/:employeeId/UpdateData

 

Similarly for payload, how to externalize these based on user input.

{

"employeeName" : "John Doe",

"DeparmentReference": "D123"

}

 

Tried through the copilot documentation, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/authoring-http-node

could not find the answers to these queries. Your help is appreciated. 

 

@HenryJammes , refer to the https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Topic-Creation-Management/Unable-to-parse-JSON-from-HTTP-request/m-p/2467650#M1253 thread, but not tried to correlate the same on a external API.

    Hi @Jitendra9975 

     

    In your HTTP request Body payload, you can make the content dynamic by switching from JSON to formula (Power Fx):

     

    {
    employeeName : Topic.employeeName,
    DeparmentReference: Topic.DeparmentReference
    }

     Same for the URL, you can use a formula to concatenate its different components:

     

    "https://domain.com/employee/:" & Topic.employeeId & "/UpdateData"

     

    Assuming you have all these already defined as variables.
