Reference parameter for arm template

Question

I need to pass the template parameter values to logic app actions as input for response connector. Can anyone guide me with this issue as when i deploy the template i get the error as "the workflow 'values from template property' does not support flow kind property"?

@Raviraj Jayaprakasam Thanks for reaching out. Assuming that you are talking about the HTTP response connector or any connector. You need to define the parameter in your workflow using the ARM template and now that parameter you can use inside your workflow.

For example, I am creating the responseMessage parameter in my workflow and used this parameter in my response action body as "body": "@parameters('responseMessage')" in my ARM template. For your reference sharing the complete ARM template so you can modify as per your need.

                 "parameters": {
                       "responseMessage": {
                             "value": "[parameters('responseMessage')]"
                }
            }
