When to use this node #

Set a variable value

Add Set Variable to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.

Compose a value for this run #

Use Set Variable when you want to give a composed value a clear source in the workflow. For example, create a greeting from literal text and a Business name Property, or prepare a summary using earlier lookup results.

Add the node after the steps that supply its inputs.
Give the node a recognizable name, such as prepareGreeting.
In Value, combine literal text with selected variables or Properties.
In a later node, select this step’s Variable output through the picker.

The node has one continuation and exposes the composed value as text. It does not create a database column, change a workflow Property, or provide persistent shared storage between runs.

Choose the right kind of value #

Need	Use
A business name or public policy changed by the builder	A workflow Property
An input supplied to a reusable node	A Custom Node Type Property
A text value composed from the current run	Set Variable
A customer record that must be stored and retrieved later	An appropriate database operation

Example: one reusable greeting value #

Create Business name in workflow Properties. In this node’s Value, type Welcome to , select the Business name Property, and type the remaining greeting. Later messages can select prepareGreeting → Variable instead of composing the same text again.

The arrow here describes a picker selection, not syntax to paste into the field. Use the actual picker token. If an earlier output is empty because its node did not run or was paused, the composed value may be incomplete; check the resulting text before sending it.

The manual starter includes a portable Set Variable example. Read Properties and variables for configuration values, per-run outputs, and reference scope.

Configure the fields #

Field	What to enter
Value	Set this value in the inspector. Use the variable picker where the field supports expressions.

Use the result #

Choose the output from the variable picker in a later step. Output names below identify the values supplied by this node; the picker inserts the correct reference for your node instance.

Output	Meaning / label
`default`	Variable

Connect the next step #

Connect the continuation shown on the canvas. Some nodes calculate their branches from the configured options. Read each branch label in the editor and connect the paths your workflow needs.

Test it in a workflow #

Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use Run only for a Manual workflow.
Open Workflow Activity and check the outcome before enabling wider use.

If something goes wrong #

Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
Follow the troubleshooting guide for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
