Now go to the collection again and replace the base url “https://customer-test-api.herokuapp.com” with {{baseUrl}}.

Important note: When you save something in an environment variable, then while using it, you have to put the variable name within a curly bracket.

Then, you will see the {{baseUrl}} color gets orange. If the color is not orange, there some spelling mistake or you don’t set the environment from the environment list.

So don’t forget to set the environment from the environment list.

When you will mouse hover over the {{baseUrl}}, then you will see showing the link you just set the link tho the environment variable.

Now click on save button.
