Hey @spacecraft-technol17 :wave:

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

What is the value of the “AddJob” variable? Is it what you have in the second image?

How was that initial stored and are the variables ({{JobName}}, etc.) within the payload, also stored in the environment?

Have you tried using:

  body: {
    mode: 'raw',
    raw: pm.environment.replaceIn('{{AddJob}}')
  }

@danny-dainton Thanks for your reply…

At intial,I have set the entire payload structure at enviroment by creating a variable called “AddJob” and assign the below payload(Example) as intial value.Variable values will be stored from API call 1,2,3,4 response
{
“key1”: {{JobName}},
"key2: {{JobId}},
“key3”: {{CompanyId}}
“key4”: {{CompanyName}},

}

At call 5,I have tried to get the “AddJob” variable from env and pass inside postman payload…It was working fine

But when tried to do the same call 5 via pm.sendRequest,variable values are sent as string not value.

Have you tried using:

  body: {
    mode: 'raw',
    raw: pm.environment.replaceIn('{{AddJob}}')
  }

As an example, I stored the variable like this:

let body = {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Danny",
    "location": "{{location}}"
}

pm.environment.set('body', JSON.stringify(body))

I have another variable in the environment that is resolving the {{location}} placeholder.
