Send payload over http connector

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

HI

I want to send payload over rest http connector to invoke ansible job.

I am using following javascript.

var processInstanceId = execution.getProcessInstanceId();
var ansiblePayload = S(‘{}’);

var extra_vars = S(‘{}’);
extra_vars.prop(‘camunda_process_instance_id’, processInstanceId);

ansiblePayload.prop(‘extra_vars’, extra_vars);

execution.setVariable(‘ansiblePayload’, ansiblePayload);

I am able to invoke the ansible job, however the job fails as the extravars is empty.

please help to address this issue.
