Custom variables

Custom Variables are variables that are not by default present in the system and that were introduced by a custom action.

See Defining custom variables for more information on how to introduce variables in your workflow.

If you use a custom variable in your expression but the variable itself is not present in the workflow, the flow will error. To avoid this, you can define a default value for a custom variable in case the variable does not exist. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Select the custom variable.
  2. Select the checkbox next to Use default value if variable does not exist.
  3. Define the value in the field Default Value.
