Benchling Automation Template Data Frame Variable API is one of 219 APIs that [Benchling](https://apis.io/providers/benchling/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include AutomationTemplateDataFrameVariable. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, rate-limit docs, and a changelog.

Defines a data frame placeholder within an AutomationTemplate that users must provide when applying the template. Each variable specifies which AutomationStep input (replaceStep, replaceStepData, replaceStepDataIndex) will receive the user-provided data frame. The replaceDataFrameColumnsSpec field defines the expected column structure that the provided data must match. When users apply an automation template to create an Analysis, they provide bindings that map actual data frames to these variables, populating the template's pipeline with real data.
