Create a RunBook Input Parameter

Parameters are the input key:value pairs that can be submitted with your xRunBook in order to run. Let's walk through the steps to create a Parameter for your xRunBook.

Add Parameter

In this step we will define the key for an input (in the example below, we create a customer input key). You can imagine that you might run a xRunBook with the key:value pair customer: John Doe.

As a best practice, use snake case for parameter names.

To add a parameter to your xRunBook, click the Parameters button to reveal the drop down.

Adding a `customer` input parameter.

Fill in the required information and click CREATE. Once created, the parameter is available to be used as a Python variable of the same name. You can use this in code for custom Actions that you create, or as arguments to the Actions you are using.
