FAQ

No, Input Variables are specific to each workflow. To share data between workflows, use Google Sheets, email, or other external storage methods.

Yes, you can store any text data including JSON, CSV data, or lists. Other nodes will interpret the data based on their requirements.
Use the variable picker in other nodes to select the stored variable value. The variable will appear in the dropdown list of available data sources.
Input Variables make workflows reusable and maintainable. Instead of updating URLs in 10 different nodes, you update one variable. This reduces errors and saves time.
