startChat prefilledVariables

PPabloDocarmo

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

PPabloDocarmo

It's declared but it doesn't work

Hmm, is it correctly published?

PPabloDocarmo

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

BBaptiste

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:

Plain Text

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?

PPabloDocarmo

I was using typebotId when I should have been using publicId. now it's working. thanks

JJulio Albuquerque

I'm using publicId and the error persists.

JJulio Albuquerque

I'm using version 2.22.2

JJulio Albuquerque

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.
