Once you've created your data flow with parameters, you can now execute that data flow from a pipeline with the Execute Data Flow Activity. Once you add that activity to your pipeline design canvas, you will be presented with the available data flow parameters in the activity's parameters setting tab.

When you click in the text box to fill-in parameter values, you will be presented with the Data Flow Expression Builder. Here, you can enter any expression or literal values that you wish that match the data type of the parameter. Below are examples of data flow expression and a literal string from the expression builder:

* ```toInteger(Role)```
51+
* ```'this is my static literal string'```

If your parameter data type is a string, then you can choose to enter either a pipeline or a data flow expression. If you choose pipeline expression, you will instead be presented with the pipeline expression panel. Make sure to include pipeline functions inside string interpolation syntax using '@{<expression>}', for example:

```'@{pipeline().RunId}'```
