pass variable into Azure DevOps Release pipeline from github actions trigger

Question

I am trying to trigger the release pipeline in the ADO from the GitHub actions. While triggering I am passing some variables to the release pipeline but the variables are not assigning to the pipeline.

the below command i am using in the Git Actions

  - name: Azure Pipelines Action
    uses: Azure/pipelines@v1
    with:
        azure-devops-project-url: https://dev.azure.com/XXXXX
        azure-pipeline-name: 'XXXXX'
        azure-devops-token: ${{ XXXX }}
        azure-pipeline-variables:  '{"regionCode": "DL"}' 

in the Release pipeline i was giving -regionCode $(regionCode) in the arguments section to fetch the variable value

Answer 1

They are most likely runtime variables, not pipeline parameters. They would be accessed in YAML using the runtime variable syntax, $[variables['regionCode']], not the parameter syntax ${{ parameters['regionCode']}} or compile-time variable syntax ${{variables['regionCode']}}
