Variables

To make workflows more dynamic, CLOUDFLOW uses the concept of variables.

Variables allow you to use values that depend on a certain context in the flow (for example retrieved from the filename or from an external system) and to set up your workflow in a flexible way.

Example

In this case all incoming files in the workflow node are copied in a folder which is created on the fly if necessary. The path where the files will be copied to has two variables: Folder Path and Filename.

There are two kinds of variables:
  • Default variables, which are available by default in the system.
  • Custom variables, which you need to define.
