Can I pass parameters to a Delta Live Table pipeline at running time?

I need to execute a DLT pipeline from a Job, and I would like to know if there is any way of passing a parameter.

I know you can have settings in the pipeline that you use in the DLT notebook, but it seems you can only assign values to them when creating the pipeline. What I would like is to specify a value each time the pipeline is executed. Is that possible?

Thank you all.

You can call the API to update the pipeline to change the value or inside your notebook, you can make a call to a Delta Table, SQL, etc... to return the value needing to be used.

Hi, what kind of parameters are you trying to change at running time? Is this the one:

https://docs.databricks.com/workflows/delta-live-tables/delta-live-tables-configuration.html

(Delta Live Tables settings specify one or more notebooks that implement a pipeline and the parameters specifying how to run the pipeline in an environment, for example, development, staging, or production. Delta Live Tables settings are expressed as JSON and can be modified in the Delta Live Tables UI.)
