Run powershell script from Ansible

I have a powershell script which takes multiple user inputs for file ex.- "C:\temp\foo.ps1", then it runs. I am trying to integrate that script with Ansible using win_shell module. How can I pass the user inputs for the powershell script :-

  - name: windows test command
    win_shell: C:\temp\Snapshots.ps1
    args:
     stdin: C:\temp\test3.csv

Script(powershell):-

$CONumber = Read-Host "Enter the CO Number"

SO this takes input from user, how can I edit this using vars_prompt variable?

To pass the content of your test3.csv as an input for your script, here is a way to do that :

- name: windows test command
  win_shell: C:\temp\Snapshots.ps1
  args:
    stdin: "{{ lookup('file', C:\temp\test3.csv) }}"

To pass the content of vars prompted to the user from the playbook, you can do like this :

#playbook_snapshot.yml
- hosts: "my_host"
  gather_facts: no
  vars_prompt:
    # co_number will be set to user input, and available in your role
    - name: co_number
      prompt: "Enter the CO Number"
    - name: other_value
      prompt: "Enter what is needed"
  role:
    - { role: wintest }

#role wintest
- name: windows test command
  win_shell: C:\temp\Snapshots.ps1
  args:
    stdin: "{{ co_number}}\n
      {{ other_value }}"
