Hi Team  
I have built one workflow , having Task 1 - run\_validation which runs SRG.

When I am planning to run this workflow using DT API&nbsp;&nbsp; /automation/v1/workflows/

Can somebody please help me to know How to pass SRG custom timeframe&nbsp; timeframe( time window for SRG validation)&nbsp; as a input time in DT API request body?

Regards,

Hello Heramb,

I would like to propose solving this by sending an event (BIZ\_EVENT), which then acts as a trigger for your workflow.&nbsp;  
In Workflows:&nbsp;  
1. Set the trigger of your workflow to be an Event trigger  
2. Configure a filter to act on those events that should trigger the workflow

Instead of calling the API, compile a JSON payload as explained [here](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/platform-modules/automations/site-reliability-guardian/execution-context#context-propagation) and set it to the endpoint: /platform/classic/environment-api/v2/bizevents/ingest

The event payload then provides the timeframe to validate.

Regards,  
Johannes

Best Regards,

Johannes
