Hi @uddeshya_pratik - there are two primary ways to do this:

  1. When you start a process instance, pass in the variables, and they will be available to tasks in your process.
  2. Use the SetVariables gRPC endpoint, where you can set variables on the process instance instead of a specific task

Hi @uddeshya_pratik

An extra option if you prefer to go with the Unified REST API is to use the endpoint
/element-instances/:elementInstanceKey/variables
