How to use Power Automate Object Variable
As you all know in the power automate you can find the variable type as object in this blog I am explaining how use Power Automate Object Variable
In above figure shows that I have initialize the Object Type variable for configuration the variables for live and development sites keys and URLs. This can be done by separate 4 string type variables also. But then flow would get pretty long with too many variables and it is very hard to read.
For that reason I have created the single object type variable and defined the JSON type object with other variables and then I can use the variable as follows
for example for sdTechnicianKey you can defied as follows
variables('Config')['sdTechnicianKey']
I think you will get to know little knowledge about the Power Automate Object type variable to master it watch the following video of Reza Dorrani's you tube channel video
