Hi @harshal_shreyesh you can use RUN AUTOMATION block in your first Automation from where you want to pass inputs to 2nd Automation. In that block you can find the Automation inputs Parameters using which you can pass inputs to another Automation.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. 

I am aware about we can pass query parameters to other automation. However i am not able to find a way to pass specific variable value. 

Can you please attach any example, that would clarify the solution. 

Thanks,

Hi @harshal_shreyesh  Which variable value you want to pass? whether variable is in Qlik App or variable created in automation?

[harshal_shreyesh]

Hello,

Please see below scenario.

Automation-1: vTeamID variable is Qlik Automation variable of Automation-2(Run Automation)

Automation-2: Variable vTeamID is created and used here. Value for this has to be set in Automation-1.

Thanks,

@harshal_shreyesh  copy paste below code into your variable created in 2nd Automation. it will take value from parameters passed from first Automation. This will solve your issue. 

{ $.Start.vTeamID }

Hello,

It does not work for me, can you please elaborate more or attach some sample automation.

@harshal_shreyesh  Keep your start mode as "TRIGGERED" in your 2nd automation. it will work then.
