I want to dynamically provide a website URL from a Power Virtual Agents bot to the data source of a Create Generative Answers node. However, the dropdown options for the public website URL only allow "Manual input" and do not accept a "Variable" option. How can I use the URL provided by the Power Virtual Agents bot as the data source for the Create Generative Answers node?

Hi @siraz1

I experience the same behavior as you.
Let me check internally and keep you posted.

Hi @HenryJammes,

I like to attach myself here to the topic. In general the option to use variables to build URL or even calling a topic using variables would be awesome.

An URL could be combined like https://mysite.com/{global.selected-topic}/summary.html

When a topic is called, I see in code editor that the calling of the topic is shown as:
actions:
- kind: BeginDialog
id: IDNUMBER
dialog: crXXX_MyServiceBot.topic.topic_sel_1
The dialog being called is shown with the specific name. Using a variable here would avoid using massive switches if you have a lot of options.
The called dialog could say something like:
dialog: crXXX_MyServiceBot.topic.{global.selected-topic}

As the code editor is written in YAML, is it possible to use PyYaml for python support and use variables or any other way to use variables?

This is the answer.. use a global variable or otherwise and populate the formula with [ variable ]
Remember to include the square brackets.. @Himanshu_90677 - you legend!
