Use GraphQL in your workflow:

- name: EnterpriseID ermitteln
        shell: bash
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.XXX}}
          ENTERPRISE_NAME: ${{ vars.ENTERPRISE_SLUG }} # your EnterpriseName 
        run: |
          #NordLB Enterprise-ID anzeigen:
          Enterprise_ID="$(gh api graphql -F ENTERPRISE_NAME=$ENTERPRISE_NAME  -f query='
            query Enterprise_ID ($ENTERPRISE_NAME: String!){
              enterprise(slug: $ENTERPRISE_NAME) {
                id
              }
            }' --jq '.data.enterprise.id')"
        
          echo Enterprise_ID: $Enterprise_ID
          echo "ENTERPRISE_ID=$Enterprise_ID" >> $GITHUB_ENV

      - name: Org Erstellung
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.XXX}}
          ADMINS: "[Name]"
          MAIL: "[Mail]"
          NEUE_ORG_NAME: "[New Org]"

        run: |    
          echo ENTERPRISE_ID: $ENTERPRISE_ID
          echo ADMINS: $ADMINS
          echo MAIL: $MAIL
         
          NEUEORG="$(gh api graphql -F ENTERPRISE_ID=${{env.ENTERPRISE_ID}} -F ADMINS="${{env.ADMINS}}" -F MAIL=${{env.MAIL}} -F NEUE_ORG_NAME=${{env.ORGANISATION_Kurzname}} -f query='
            mutation NeueOrgErstellen ($ENTERPRISE_ID: ID!, $ADMINS: String!, $MAIL: String!, $NEUE_ORG_NAME: String! ){
            createEnterpriseOrganization(
              input: { adminLogins: [$ADMINS], billingEmail: $MAIL,
                enterpriseId: $ENTERPRISE_ID, login: $NEUE_ORG_NAME, profileName: $NEUE_ORG_NAME
              }
            ) {enterprise {
                id
                }
              }
            }'
          )"
          
          echo "ID: $NEUEORG"
