That is why I do like this:

(defun my-multi-input-function (&optional input1 input2 input3)
  "An example function that takes three inputs and displays them."
  (interactive)
  (let ((input1 (or input1 (read-string "Enter the first input: ")))
	(input2 (or input2 (read-string "Enter the second input: ")))
	(input3 (or input3 (read-string "Enter the third input: "))))
    (message "You entered: %s, %s, %s" input1 input2 input3)))

Then you can call function:

(my-multi-input-function input1 input2 input3)

or if those are nil, it will ask you.
