+
+### Dynamic configuration using variables
+
+The following examples show how configuration for the action can be dynamically defined in a previous workflow step.
+
+The recommended method is to use `set-output`. Note that the step where output variables are defined must have an id.
+
+```yml
+      - name: Set output variables
+        id: vars
+        run: |
+          echo ::set-output name=pr_title::"[Test] Add report file $(date +%d-%m-%Y)"
+          echo ::set-output name=pr_body::"This PR was auto-generated on $(date +%d-%m-%Y) \
+            by [create-pull-request](https://github.com/peter-evans/create-pull-request)."
+      - name: Create Pull Request
+        uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v1.5.1
+        env:
+          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+          PULL_REQUEST_TITLE: ${{ steps.vars.outputs.pr_title }}
+          PULL_REQUEST_BODY: ${{ steps.vars.outputs.pr_body }}
+```
+
+Since the action reads environment variables from the system, it's technically not necessary to explicitly pass them as long as they exist in the environment. So the following method using `set-env` *also* works, but explicitly passing the configuration parameters using the previous method is perferred for its clarity.
+
+```yml
+      - name: Set environment variables
+        run: |
+          echo ::set-env name=PULL_REQUEST_TITLE::"[Test] Add report file $(date +%d-%m-%Y)"
+          echo ::set-env name=PULL_REQUEST_BODY::"This PR was auto-generated on $(date +%d-%m-%Y) \
+            by [create-pull-request](https://github.com/peter-evans/create-pull-request)."

+        uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v1.5.1
