| name | String | The name of the variable for which a value is captured. The variable must exist in the Chatbot instance. | |
| value | String | The value to be captured for the corresponding variable. |
Optional parameters

Response data format
This method calls the Chatbot API’s POST /conversation/variables/multiple endpoint. It returns a Promise with the API response data. Please refer to the Responses section of the endpoint on the Chatbot API Routes page for the response format.

[
{
name: "first_name",
