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 your flow. You can add your own set of pre-configured variables.
The dynamic variables are used inside your widget just by simply entering “ {{ “.
The Dropdown of all the supported variables is listed as soon as you enter the double curly braces.
Also, you can provide your own variables between “ {{ “ “ }} ”.
