Variables

A variable is a result that may take on or assume any given value or set of values.

Variables in our platform follow next structure: @lvl-1.lvl-2.lvl-3@.

For instance: @data.client.profile_image@

How to use variables​

In our platform, a variable is a changeable value defined in the Data Schema and can be modified based on the outcome of an object.

These variables can be entered in various parts of the platform and recognized by the presence of the "@" button for input.

This button will be always next to an input field.

When we click on it, the following pop-up will show up:

Search

To access variables, navigate to the appropriate category, such as Data, Static, Interface, etc. Once you have selected a category, a list of available variables will be displayed for your use.

Variables Group by Category​

The platform organizes variables into categories for ease of use. To make use of these variables, they must first be created. For example, if a variable is created in the Data category, it will be available under that category.

The categories available include:

  • Data: All variables from your data scheme.
  • Static: All variables from your static data scheme.
  • Interfaces: All variables from your interfaces.
  • Apps: All variables related to the apps you have installed.
  • Webhooks: All variables from your webhook objects.
  • Database: All variables from your Database.
  • Website: All variables from your Website.
  • Tools: All variables related to the tools you have installed.
  • System: These are predefined variables provided by our platform.

To use a variable, click on one of the items in the list. The variable will be added to the output. To add multiple variables, repeat the process. Once you have added all necessary variables, click on the “Accept” button and the output will be automatically added to the input field.
