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.

Could you please tell me how to capture/receive these input parameters in workflow task.

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:
