Using Variables

Use Variables as placeholders for incoming data.

Variables are placeholders for data that will be only known at flow runtime. Variables let you use data from one component in other - connected - components. For example, a component that triggers for new rows in your spreadsheet passes row data to a component that sends an email for each new row. In the email body, you want to use the actual data of the new row, referenced by column names.
