Variable Types

Variables are a type of item that stores temporary values allowing the Actions and Conditions to perform their evaluation using it. You can use variables inside variables, and each variable can be referenced multiple times in multiple items. When one variable is deleted, you will need to update manually each item that refers to it. Inside the edit page of each variable, it's possible to see all items that refer to the variable.

The syntax to use variables are {{variable_id}} or {{variable_id->field_id}}
