Workflow input through Rest API

[Mishtir]

Hi,
can we pass workflow input through an rest api in conductor?
So I have a requirement to pass task input parameter from UI field , not hard coded in json file. How can we pass the input to task work through an api call.?

workflow input in json.
{
"movieId": "234232",
}

"tasks": [
{
"name": "movie_info",
"taskReferenceName": "movie_info",
"inputParameters": {
"movieId": "${workflow.input.movieId}"
},
"type": "SIMPLE"
},

I don't want this movieId input to be hardcoded in JSON. Instead it should be from Rest API call as a paramater.

How can we achieve this?

Hi @Mishtir , One way to achieve this is to add HTTP task as the first task and invoke the API there. Now for subsequent tasks we can use http_task.output.resonse.body.status like that.
