Variables

#

What are Variables?

Most objects in your workspace, like accounts or transactions, can have variables. variables allow you to store any additional information about that object.

#

Variable Definitions

For some objects like Routes or Connections, you can enforce which variables to pass to the object by using variable_definitions.

For more on variable_definitions, check out the definitions section.

#

Variable Encryption

If you have encryption enabled in your workspace, you can also encrypt data that goes into variables. You can do it by wrapping the value with double pipes || ||, for example:

{
  "name": "Acme inc.",
  "type": "simple",
  "variables": {
    "company_tax_id": "||29826355932||" // data to encrypt.
  }
}

This will encrypt it, and you'll get the following token id that you can later reuse in workflows.

{
  "name": "Acme inc.",
  "type": "simple",
  "variables": {
    "company_tax_id": "|-ENCRYPTED_MAY22_Qv4mHQ43nofsxtHp7Wy-|" // |-token_id-|
  }
}
