Hello!

You can make use of the API call /workflows/{id}/run to trigger the execution of a particular workflow. And then in the request body you can send some information. For example:

{ "input": { "additionalProp1": "string", "additionalProp2": "string", "additionalProp3": "string" }, "params": { "additionalProp1": "string", "additionalProp2": "string", "additionalProp3": "string" }, "uniqueQualifier": "string" }

This information is then available for ypu to use in the workflow execution time.

For executing this API call the Required scope: automation:workflows:run is needed for the token.

Also If I add above given parameters in the api body as it is. in the response I get workflow status success but workflow do not triggered and If I just remove the above given input parameters , API works fine workflow status is Running.

What could be the reason here ??

You might be able to get that information from the execution log with a js block:

https://developer.dynatrace.com/reference/sdks/client-automation/#getexecutionlog

import { executionsClient } from "@dynatrace-sdk/client-automation"; const data = await executionsClient.getExecutionLog({ id: "...", });

An alternative to send the values you want is to change the trigger to a bizevent and send all the information you need in that bizevent:
