### Optional parameters

The optional parameters are the parameters of the action to be completed. You will have to define these parameters in the corresponding action parameters.

#### 📌 Example

If you want to complete an asynchronous web procedure action called `MYASYNCACTION`, which has the following parameter:

* `AMOUNT`: receive data into `TOTAL` (you have to create this process data)

Then, in your process, you have to add an action using the COMPLETEACTION application with the following parameters:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th valign="top">Parameter</th><th valign="top">Type</th><th valign="top">Direction</th><th valign="top">Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><strong>Parameter</strong></td><td valign="top"><strong>Type</strong></td><td valign="top"><strong>Direction</strong></td><td valign="top"><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><code>REQUEST_ID</code></td><td valign="top">NUMERIC</td><td valign="top">IN</td><td valign="top">Send value of <code>MY_REQUEST_ID</code> (a numeric process data containing the request ID of the action to complete, e.g. <code>1320</code>)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><code>ACTION_NAME</code></td><td valign="top">TEXT</td><td valign="top">IN</td><td valign="top">Send value of the name of the action to complete (e.g. <code>MYSYNCACTION</code>)</td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><code>AMOUNT</code></td><td valign="top">NUMERIC</td><td valign="top">IN</td><td valign="top">Send value of <code>MY_AMOUNT</code> (a numeric process data containing a value for the amount, e.g. <code>1234.56</code>)</td></tr></tbody></table>
