Hello everyone

As you will see below in the JSON, I first need to define a variable.

```auto
{
  "type": "image",
  "width": 1080,
  "height": 1080,
   "bgImageUrl": "https://example.com/image/example.png",
   "text": "Happy Coffees!",
   "textBgColor": "green"
  },

```

Later, I need to call this variable again within the same module or even within the same piece of code.

```auto
    "background": [
            "url": "{{bgImageUrl}}",
            "type": "image"
          ]

```

However, when I use {{ to call this variable, [Make.com](http://Make.com) interprets it as mapping and I am not able to call the variable in the code snippet. Is there a way to do this?

Welcome to the Make community!

Try using the replace function to replace `%%bgImageUrl%%` into `{{bgImageUrl}}`

e.g.:

### Example output string

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you. But is there any other way? Because variables are not consistent, changing for every runs so i can’t control the variable names that way.

Just insert the variable name as a variable where the word variable is at in my example.
