Web request response body value as a URI parameter in another web request

[Wojciech Klupś]

According to this article: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/send-web-request-action-now-provides-response-data-993924775.html we have access to response body of a web request action.

What if I would like to get one value from web request response body and use it as a URI parameter of following another web request action (POST or PUT)? How I can achieve that?

Hi Wojciech,

Once you have run the first web request action, you will probably want to create a variable that stores the specific value.  Please see https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/automation-actions/#Automationactions-Createvariable

Once the variable has been created and stores the value from your first response, you can then create other actions in this automation rule to use that variable like it was a smart value.

Try that and let me know if this helps.

That worked out like a charm :) Thanks!
