Environment variables let you store sensitive values (API keys, tokens, configuration strings) outside of your workflow definitions. Reference them in any node without hardcoding secrets.

Creating an Environment Variable

1

Go to Settings

Navigate to Settings → Environment Variables.
2

Add a variable

Click New Variable. Enter a name and value.
3

Use in workflows

Reference the variable in any node configuration field.

Naming Rules

Environment variable names must:
  • Start with an uppercase letter
  • Contain only uppercase letters, numbers, and underscores
  • Be at most 100 characters
Examples: API_KEY, SLACK_TOKEN, DATABASE_URL

Security

  • Values are encrypted at rest and never displayed in plain text after creation
  • When editing a variable, you must re enter the value (the current value is not shown)
  • Variables are scoped to your workspace and not shared across workspaces

Using in Workflows

Environment variables are available through the variable picker in any node configuration field. Select from the environment variables section to inject the value at runtime.
