Passing Data Between Steps

​

Getting Started with Variables

In your agent workflows, data is passed from one step to another using variables. Variables are outputs generated by a step and can be inserted into the parameters of subsequent steps. This makes your workflows dynamic and adaptable to different data inputs.

​

Step Options & Variables

Every step has configurable parameters that determine its behavior. Options can accept either:

• Static values: Manually entered data.
• Dynamic variables: Data coming from a previous step.

For example, while configuring a Google Search query, you might want to customize the query using data from an earlier step. To do this, simply click the + button next to the text field and select the appropriate variable.

​

Using Variables Across Steps

To successfully pass a variable from one step to another, the two steps must be connected in your workflow. Here’s the simple rule:

• Direct Connection: If there’s a line connecting Step A to Step B, Step B can use the outputs from Step A.
• Branching Workflows: If steps are on separate branches without a connecting line, variables cannot be passed between them. To share data, ensure that the steps are connected in the same chain.

​

Inserting Variables into Step Parameters

To insert a variable into an parameter:

1. Click the + button near the input field.
2. A dropdown will display the available variables from previous steps.
3. Select the variable you wish to insert into the option.
