Variables

Template Variables

Variables let you pass data from one node to another using the {{variableName.output.field}} syntax. Every node that produces output stores it under a variable name you define.

Basic Syntax

Reference any value by wrapping its path in double curly braces:

{{nodeName.output.fieldName}}

Common Patterns

Trigger Data

{{inputTrigger.name}}
{{webhookTrigger.body.email}}
{{chatTrigger.message}}

Node Output

{{gemini_response.output.text}}
{{search_results.output.results}}
{{http_response.output.data}}

Nested Properties

Use dot notation to access nested values:

{{airtable.output.record.fields.Name}}
{{gmail.output.messages[0].subject}}

Variable Picker

Every text field in the node configuration panel includes a variable picker. Click the { } button to open it. The picker shows:

All upstream nodes and their output fields
Trigger data fields
Environment variables

Select a variable to insert it at your cursor position.

Variable Names

Each node has a configurable variable name that determines how downstream nodes reference its output. Choose descriptive names to keep your workflows readable:

✅ customer_email → {{customer_email.output.text}}
❌ node_7 → {{node_7.output.text}}

Type Handling

Variables are automatically converted to strings when used in text fields. For nodes that expect specific types (numbers, arrays, objects), the raw value is passed through without conversion.

Best Practices

Use descriptive variable names — Makes your workflow self documenting
Check for existence — Some outputs may be undefined if a previous node was skipped
Keep paths simple — If you need deeply nested data, use a Code or Transform Array node to extract it first
