Is there a way to input multiple environment variables into a url for testing on Postman?

I am testing an endpoint in Postman using a url like this, {{api_url}}/stackoverflow/help/{{customer_id}}/{{client_id}}. I have the api_url, customer_id, and client_id stored in my environment variables. I would like to test multiple customer_id and client_id without having to change the environment variables manually each time. I created a csv to store a list of customer_id and one to store client_id. When I go to run collection, it will only allow me to add one file. Is there another way to do this if I want to iterate through my tests to automate them?

you can use postman.setNextRequest to control the flow. The below code runs the request with different values in the arr variable

url:

{{api_url}}/stackoverflow/help/{{customer_id}}/{{client_id}}

now add pre-request:

// add values for the variable in an array
const tempArraycustomer_id = pm.variables.get("tempArraycustomer_id")
const tempArrayclient_id = pm.variables.get("tempArrayclient_id")

//modify the array to the values you want
const arrcustomer_id = tempArraycustomer_id ? tempArraycustomer_id : ["value1", "value2", "value3"]
const arrclient_id = tempArrayclient_id ? tempArrayclient_id : ["value1", "value2", "value3"]


// testing variable to each value of the array and sending the request until all values are used

pm.variables.set("customer_id", arrcustomer_id.pop())
pm.variables.set("client_id", arrclient_id.pop())

pm.variables.set("tempArraycustomer_id", arrcustomer_id)
pm.variables.set("tempArrayclient_id", arrclient_id)


//end iteration when no more elements are there
if (arrcustomer_id.length !== 0) {
    postman.setNextRequest(pm.info.requestName)
}

You can add both customer_id & client_id in one csv file. Postman will iterate n times (n = number of csv lines, except header)
