Inject Trello Automation variable into HTTP request

[Quoc-Hung Hoang]

I want to leverage Trello Automation to create a pull request on my Bitbucket repo via Bitbucket Rest API.

Given a Trello card which has a number and a name. In Automation, we have corresponding variables: {cardnumber} and {cardname}

I created a rule like this:

post to url: 

https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/plb-alana/alana/pullrequests

payload (represented as JSON object):

{\n "title": {cardname},\n "source": {\n "branch": {\n "name": "feature/"{cardnumber}"/"{cardname}\n }\n },\n "destination": {\n "branch": {\n "name": "staging"\n }\n }\n}

But looks like the Automation didn't substitute my variables into actual values. 

Can I confirm automation variables are working in such use case ?

Hi there!

Could you send me the payload again as the one in your query does not seem to be formatted correctly, especially on this part: 

"name": "feature/"{cardnumber}"/"{cardname}

Just to let you know that variables used in the payload are automatically escaped to be part of a valid JSON string. I would recommend to try using one variable for now and shorten your JSON object to check if it works.

I hope this helps, but let us know if you have any questions!
