# SOAP template execution parameters

You use execution parameters to create the input process script in the **Pre processing** form of the activity designer.

For descriptions of the SOAP web service command fields, see the table in [Configure the SOAP execution command](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/orchestration/t_MapSOAPVariablesToExecutionComm.md).

**Note:** You must use the `executionParam.` prefix with all variables in this table.
