Yes, you can do it. You send it this way

{ 
    "some_key" : "{{environment_variable_name}}"
}

So, if in the previous test you installed it with something like

postman.setEnvironmentVariable("id","some_value")

You can use it in your POST with

{ 
"some_key" : "{{id}}" 
}

Hope this answers your question.
