Set variable(s)

Declares one or more variables where you can store data within the context of the current workflow, allowing you to use that data in any following step.

How it works

The "Set Variable" and "Set Variables" steps allow you to store data for the lifetime of the workflow, or until the variables(s) are overwritten.

You can access the data stored in a variable in later steps of the same workflow by simply choosing the variable you want to use from the list of available options for pre-filling.

For the end-user, storing a variable is a process hidden in the background, and they do not need to interact with it.

When building a workflow, you can set one variable ("Set Variable" step) or multiple variables at once ("Set Variables" step).

There are no technical limitations on the type of data you can store inside a variable. You can even build the values with liquid expressions, when in advanced mode.

After the end-user has completed either the "Set Variable" or "Set Variables" step inside a journey, you can examine the current value of the variable live in the Journeys of Signicat Mint.

Add the step

To add the Set variable(s) step to your flow, do this:

1. In the Signicat Dashboard, navigate to Products > Signicat Mint.
2. Open your flow.
3. In the Builder UI, select the plus icon (+). Then, select Step.
4. In the "Steps" menu on the left, select Set variable(s).

Now, configure the attributes as explained below.
