  **Test with API**

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.b3os.org/v1/actions/thirdweb-engine-send-transaction/test" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "inputs": {
    "chain": "8453",

}'
```

**Use expressions for dynamic values**

Payload fields can use workflow expressions such as `{{$trigger.body.amount}}`, `{{$nodes.fetch.result.price}}`, and `{{$props.asset}}` when the value should come from a trigger, prior node, or reusable workflow prop.
