Flow variables are temporary values used within a specific flow. They can be set from user replies, WhatsApp flows, or API responses, and help guide the user’s journey by controlling logic inside that flow.

​
Saving flow variables

You can save and use flow variables in different ways

​
User Reply node:

  1. Add a User Reply node.
  2. Click on Save reply in the node settings.
  3. Select a variable to store the reply.
  4. Choose to save it either as a Rasayel property or create a flow variable.

​
API Call node:

  1. Make an API call within the flow.
  2. Once it runs successfully, select any of the response fields.
  3. Save the selected value as a flow variable to use later in the flow.

​
Using flow Variables

Once saved, flow variables can be used throughout the flow:

  • Insert them into a Simple Message node to personalize responses.
  • Use them in Conditional nodes to branch the flow based on user input.
  • Store API responses and reuse them in different parts of the flow.
