Global Variables

Global variables are persistent values you can define and use throughout your entire workspace and within Automations. With Global variables, users can store centralized information and pass data between Automations. This improves consistency in your Automations and saves valuable time as you define them once only. For example, teams can use global variables for reoccurring credentials, monitoring and updating a status, and many other use cases.

There are two types of global variables:

• Raw value variable
• Secret variable

Global variables are displayed on the left-hand side navigation menu. Open the page to show all global variables.

Global variables are available to use with the variable picker.
