Variables
Use variables to store and manipulate data in your workflow. You can define, use, and update workflow variables as many times as you need throughout your workflow. Variables are placeholders that store data that changes each time the workflow runs or even during execution of a single workflow instance. The variables can be referenced multiple times within actions throughout your workflow.
For example, you might want to save the name of an employee in a variable. The name of an employee is a string of characters so you would create a variable of type Text. The workflow could then store the name of the employee, such as "John Doe," in the variable.
