send multiple parameter to Azure-Devops pipeline job via Powershell - azure-devops

Question

I am able to kick off an Azure Devops Build job and send a text parameter but I only seem to be able to send a single parameter and not more.
I need to send a token parameter Ok that works but I also want to send a text param that contains a json payload to be processed by a Powershell script in the Build job.
So I have a Hellow World definition setup with two variables in Pipeline variables.
First one is tokentext the second one is jsonInput.
Both have the checkbox "Settable at queue time" checked.
I have a PowerShell Inline script in the job definition with this:
Write-Host "Hello World"
Write-Host "tokentext: $(tokentext) `n"
Write-Host "Json Input"
Write-Host "---------------------------------------------------"
$(jsonInput)
My Body that I am sending to the Invoke-RestMethod is:
$body = #{
definition = #{
id = $buildDefID
}
parameters = "{`"tokentext`" :$mytoken}
{`"jsonInput`" :$j}
"
}
$b = $body | ConvertTo-Json
This works but the above does not:
$body = #{
definition = #{
id = $buildDefID
}
parameters = "{`"tokentext`" :$mytoken}
"
}
$b = $body | ConvertTo-Json
I have tried it with a comma separating the parameters etc.. All kids of things I have tried. I could sure use some assistance if anyone is sening multiple parameters to variables in a build Definition from a script.
Thanks

Answer 1

Below request body works for me. Please check it out.
$body = #{
definition= #{id = $buildDefID};
parameters ="{`"jsonInput`":`"$jsonInput`", `"tokentext`":`"$tokentext`"}"
}
$b = $body | ConvertTo-Json
You can also run your pipeline via Runs - Run Pipeline rest api which is less complicated.
POST https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/pipelines/{pipelineId}/runs?api-version=6.1-preview.1
pipelineId is the $buildDefID
You can put the parameters in your request body as below:
$body=#{
variables = #{
jsonInput= #{value = $jsonInput};
tokentext= #{value = $tokentext}
}
}
$b = $body | ConvertTo-Json

Answer 2

Please try this:
$body = #{
definition = #{
id = $buildDefID
}
parameters = "{`"tokentext`" :$mytoken, `"jsonInput`" :$j}"
}
$b = $body | ConvertTo-Json
