# Set header template

This is a pre-built Action located under the **APIs List**. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to populate the input field with values from the header defined in the stored template and apply them to the API request. This enables required headers to be set dynamically for further use during API execution.

## **Syntax**

**Input Value**: `N/A`

| Argument | Description    |
| -------- | -------------- |
| N/A      | Not Applicable |

**Output Value**: `N/A`

| Argument | Description    |
| -------- | -------------- |
| N/A      | Not Applicable |

### **Example: Setting a Header Template for a APIs Request**

In this example, we are explaining how to apply a predefined header template to a API request during API testing.

* **Action**: Set Header Template
* **Input Value**: N/A
  * This action does not require any input value. It applies a predefined header template to the API request for subsequent API execution.
* **Output Value:** N/A
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Set header template** action does not require any input value. The action applies the configured header template to the API request, ensuring that the required headers are included for the API call.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/apis/apis-list/set-header-template.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
