How to insert variables into the request body in a Remote API call?

When inserting variables into the request body of a Remote API call in Tracardi, you can utilize the dot notation, which is represented as [email protected]. This notation allows you to access specific data fields within a data source. For instance, using profile@id would retrieve the id field from the profile data source, effectively yielding profile.id.

You can apply this principle within JSON objects to reference data inside the object. For example, in a JSON request body, you can specify:

{
  "id": "profile@id"
}

This structure tells the system to replace "profile@id" with the actual value of profile.id from the current data context. So, if profile.id is 9c98443a-0637-42f2-a4e2-f7b750a0b650, the processed JSON object would appear as:

{
  "id": "9c98443a-0637-42f2-a4e2-f7b750a0b650"
}

Here, "id" in the JSON object gets the value of the current profile.id, demonstrating how you can dynamically insert data from Tracardi sources into your API request bodies.
