how do i include AI Variables in sequence steps via API? I thought the syntax was {@ Normalize Company} for example, but I haven't gotten that to work.

I understand how they work, I was just hoping I could use them when creating sequences programmatically using the API. Are you saying there's no way to do that?

Hello Hollis, thank you for your patience! I checked our API documentation and unfortunately AI Variables aren't mentioned there.
I've also noted this as feedback for our team 🙌

Hey @Hollis. Good news: • even though it's not documented yet, based on my testing you can use existing AI Variables and create new ones when creating or updating sequence steps via the API. • Here's the required format for an AI Variable:
@prompt[[@attributes(({name: "Name of AI Variable", isLiveSearch: false}))AI Variable Prompt]]
