Trigger Automa's workflow through URL about automa HOT 4 CLOSED

I am not able to get any parameters/variables into the workflow execution as stated in the documentation. The URL in the documentation is:

chrome-chrome-extension://infppggnoaenmfagbfknfkancpbljcca/execute.html#/workfloId?variableA=value&variableB=10

Issues:

• the "chrome-chrome-extension" schema should only be "chome-extension"
• any kind of "variable..." parameter to the url does not appear in the workflow logs

Can you improve the documentation and check how to setup the parameter/variable injection?

I am in the same position, has anyone figured this out?

I tried many methods (as outlined here: https://docs.automa.site/workflow/variables.html).

I've tried: {{variables.myVar}}, $$myVar, and a few more- none work. Please help

I've found the problem, code needs to be updated. I tried opening a PR, but when pushing it says Permission to AutomaApp/automa.git denied

The issue:

Here, you are not correctly passing the search params from the URL:
https://github.com/AutomaApp/automa/commit/5f1caf11735e2b0c55c6418918a3932e900451b2#diff-411f1a3a9aae65d635492a191d9577c3fd8fdeeb0a7726f050ad04d1c65e3453R13

Rather than doing this:

  searchParams.forEach((key, value) => {
    variables[key] = decodeURIComponent(value);
  });
  return { workflowId: workflowId ?? '', variables };

You can just do this:

  const variables = Object.fromEntries(searchParams);
  ...
  return { workflowId: workflowId ?? '', variables };

Fixed in v1.28.27
