startChat prefilledVariables

Hi, I'm trying to use the TypeBot API to start the image. I need to use the values of the variables from prefilledVariables (/v1/typebots/{public Id}/startChat) in the bot flow. body: { "isOnlyRegistering": false, "message":"oi", "prefilledVariables": { "name": "john", "email": "john@gmail.com" } } Response: { "sessionId": "clstswkr9006baes42ue3l6uo", "typebot": { "id": "clssyfxgc0011dour5pthdngn", "theme": {}, "settings": { "general": { "isInputPrefillEnabled": true, "isHideQueryParamsEnabled": true, "rememberUser": { "isEnabled": false } } } }, "messages": [ { "id": "s3tdlo432udonb2eh31bsk7s", "type": "text", "content": { "richText": [ { "type": "p", "children": [ { "text": "Teste " }, { "type": "inline-variable", "children": [] } ] } ] } } ] } I can't display the values of the variables. Where am I going wrong? Another question: Is it possible to create a variable with the sessionId value within the flow?

Is the variable declared? By the looks of it, you just wrote "{{name}}" without actually declaring the variable

It's declared but it doesn't work

Baptiste•4mo ago

Hmm, is it correctly published?

PabloDocarmo•4mo ago

is published correctly. The entire flow works but does not display the variables. I tested it on my own instance and directly through my account at https://typebot.io

In fact, what you send as a response body does not match your flow screenshot So we can't guess what's not working here. I just tried this:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://typebot.io/api/v1/typebots/my-typebot-9lkozk3/startChat \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "prefilledVariables": {
    "name": "Baptiste"
  }
}'

curl --request POST \
  --url https://typebot.io/api/v1/typebots/my-typebot-9lkozk3/startChat \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "prefilledVariables": {
    "name": "Baptiste"
  }
}'

Returns correctly:

{"sessionId":"clsx1twis00du102pk6ajnkxw","typebot":{"id":"clsx1rtpk0003ojy599lkozk3","theme":{},"settings":{}},"messages":[{"id":"g3xj6y00srayikf3ogewqvop","type":"text","content":{"richText":[{"type":"p","children":[{"text":"Welcome "},{"type":"inline-variable","children":[{"type":"p","children":[{"text":"Baptiste"}]}]},{"text":" !!!"}]}]}}]}

What version are you using? I was using typebotId when I should have been using publicId. now it's working. thanks

Julio Albuquerque•4mo ago

I'm using publicId and the error persists. I'm using version 2.22.2 Sorry! I misunderstood how "profilledVariables" worked, I thought there was no need to create them within the flow, I was just using them by typing {{name_of_variable}}. Now everything is working 100%! Once again, sorry for the intrusion.
