Dynamic Variables for FlowBuilder
Dynamic variables allow you to insert data dynamically into your flow when a flow or the widget inside it is triggered. Each widget supports a set of variables that are used to build the flow. One can also use their own set of pre-configured variables.
Use the dynamic variables inside the widgets by simply entering “ {{ “. The dropdown of all the supported variables is listed as soon as the double curly braces are entered.
To use your own set of pre-configured variables, enter them manually inside the double curly braces in this format "{{api:VARIABLE}}".
