Within workflows, you may want to use secure credentials such as API keys. Most commonly, this is done via a REST API JSON action step, where you need to pass in the appropriate headers for authorization. Workflow variables allow you to store these credentials securely and access them from within a workflow.

Create a workflow variable

To create a workflow variable, navigate to Workflow Options and select Workflow Variables. When creating a new workflow variable, remember that the name cannot contain spaces. Once saved, you can edit or delete this variable in the future.

Note: Variables you create are workflow-specific. If you duplicate a workflow that contains a variable, you must create a new variable for the duplicated workflow.


Access a workflow variable

Select the key icon and copy the desired workflow variable to access a workflow variable within the REST API JSON action step. Then, you can paste this value where the secure API token is needed for authorization.

To access a workflow variable within a standard entry field, click the icon on the right > Variables > and select the desired workflow variable.
