I have the same question as in topic (https://next.nutanix.com/calm-application-management-55/passing-variables-to-calm-runbooks-39356)

I have created a runbook, configured a variable under the “Configuration” section of the runbook.

I can launch the runbook via API, but it does not pass the value.
I tried passing the below sample as the body of the request.

What am I missing ?

{
    "spec": {
        "args": [
            {
                "name": "VariableName",
                "value": "value"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Hi Peter,

I have tested again and it is working for me. Steps to reproduce:

Create a runbook with a single Execute Escript task that has:
```
print(“@@{VAR_TEST}@@”)
```
Add in the runbook a variable called VAR_TEST and enable runtime icon
Gather the UUID for the runbook from the URL on the top

With Postman or curl, run a POST call to https://PC_IP:9440/api/nutanix/v3/runbooks/<runbook_uuid>/run with body that has:

{
    "spec": {
        "args": [
            {
                "name": "VAR_TEST",
                "value": "THIS IS A TEST"
            }
        ]
    }
}
