Environment variable usage in Web API Base URL

ShawnDuff — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 18:20:00 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible to use environment variables in the Web API Base URL section? We've had several instances where some of the developers are overwriting lower environment URL's in our higher environments when importing an existing WEB API by mistake and were hoping to avoid it completely, otherwise we'll just handle through training.

Currently working on Blue Prism 6.4.2.

Thanks!

Hi @ShawnDuff,

I haven't tried environment variables with the URL, but I have used regular input variables. I would imagine environment variable would work too.

Cheers,

Hi Shawn,

You can use parameter in Base URL field.

A common parameter can be created and choose to expose it to the object. You can then use an environment variable to supply the value during runtime.
