Variables
Variables store and manage data that can be used throughout the flow process. Variables store task-independent data. A flow step can store a value in a variable, and another flow step can extract and use this value in a later step.
Types of variables:
Local variables are specific to a single flow and cannot be accessed by other flows.
Global variables can be used across multiple flows.
Global and local variables can be specified as read-only. Read-only variables have a defined default value that cannot be changed while the flow runs. Read-only variables are used to store data that does not change while the flow runs. Variables can be used in mappings, allowing users to select and use them within flow actions. Additionally, assigning values to variables while the flow runs enables efficient data management and manipulation.
Users can create, edit, update, and delete variables directly within the flow builder, providing an easy and flexible way to manage data.
Variables are included in the import/export of a flow, ensuring all related data is preserved when flows are transferred.
