Adding data values to a dictionary

Hi, Thanks for your responses. Sorry I wasn't very clear. My process parameters currently work fine within the web API

processParameters: a!fromJson(
http!request.body
)

I could probably change it to pass in the unconverted request body into a CDT in the process model. I am assuming as well that i am not going to be able to get a handle on the response. Ultimately we are trying to audit any calls made by the external application within Appian.

You cannot add a dictionary or "Any Type" as a variable type in a process model. However, do you know what kind of data you expect to receive from the http request? Could you create a CDT that matches the fields of the request and use that as the type? You can just use cast() to cast the response from your JSON to the correct CDT.

Is there any particular reason you can't just add additional parameters to your process model?
