Hello,
The main objective here is to pass Data along in the Body of an HTTP request to a SOAP service to communicate with Mainframe for a Screen Emulator Pop.
If I use a tag like this within the snippet of code outlined below <q0:agent_id>${callVariable2}</q0:agent_id> I get an API error
However if I put <foo>${callVariable2}</foo> *like in the dev guide* The call goes through However nothing displays in the variable info even when I see in the logs that Variable data is passing...
See Log:

*Blue notates the hard coded data that does pass through
2. Same Call but further down Shows Variable data actually populating. -->
<name>callVariable2</name><value>123456789</value>
***Actual Body ***
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:q0="http://www.GCS0012CI.com/schemas/GCS0012CIInterface" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Header></soapenv:Header><soapenv:Body><q0:GCS0012CDATA><q0:input_fields><q0:agent_id><foo>${callVariable2}</foo></q0:agent_id><test>${callVariable2}</test><q0:call_num>12345</q0:call_num></q0:input_fields></q0:GCS0012CDATA></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>
What am I doing wrong here??? I need some assistance.

Interesting. Are you using the Administrator console to add the workflow? If so, are you using the call variables tags?
I tried this on my environment by using the same http request body that you have and can see in the logs that the ${callVariable2} is being replaced with the value. The HTTP request has a different URI and obviously won't go through successfully, but I was trying to see if the values got replaced.
Let me try to see what happens if I add the body without the tags and also via REST API.
Thanx,
Denise

Ah ha! Looks like when you manually put ${callVariableX} between the tags, it makes it a literal string.
This is my workflow configuration where agent_id is manually and the test is a tag:
The logs show that the post body is:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:q0=\"http://www.GCS0012CI.com/schemas/GCS0012CIInterface\" xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"><soapenv:Header></soapenv:Header><soapenv:Body><q0:GCS0012CDATA><q0:input_fields><q0:agent_id>${callVariable3}</q0:agent_id><test>alphanumeric12345</test><q0:call_num>12345</q0:call_num></q0:input_fields></q0:GCS0012CDATA></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>
where alphanumeric12345 is the value of callVariable3.
So let me know what API error you are getting when you use the tags rather than manually typing it in and we can go from there.
Thanx,
Denise
Ok so I set up another workflow so I didn't confuse the two. Doing exactly what you had suggested. Attached is the screenshot and the logs.

From the logs it appears to not have the \ but I still don't see the data populate it's just the code... Is this the way it's supposed to look like?
I'm getting back a 504 error this time.
