Passing Input parameters to the Daemon Process

I have a shell script which reads input from Terminal. I would like to run this script as a daemon process. I have read and understood about making a script to a daemon process where we would create a .service file etc.
Now I would like to read inputs for daemon process as its being read for shell script. I have read that we can configure the config files in /etc/systemd/ and I have also read about creating a pipe like mentioned in Sending input to background process. But I am getting confused and not able to get the whole picture of whether it is possible
Can anybody please explain ?
Thanks.

The whole point of a daemon is to run in background, so taking input from a user (say, from a terminal) is contrary to what a daemon is... It's not really clear what you're trying to achieve here. Can you edit your question to explain in more details what kind of input you'd like to send to your daemon, or perhaps give an example to illustrate it?

If you want to have a parameterized service, maybe service templates are what you're looking for?
