I want to pass a query parameter into the crm\_object function like this:

What is the correct syntax for doing this?

I have tried enabling the module for the programmable email beta, but this is not going to be an email template, it is a website page template module. In either case the programmable email beta option didn’t resolve the issue either.

The object ID is expecting a number, but request.query\_dict returns a string. If you add |int to the end of your request it’ll change the value into an integer and crm\_object should except it.

`{% set job_id = request.query_dict['job_id']|int %}`
