Variables types

There are different types of variables available in Nintex CE Platform. They are available in different tabs on the Variables panel to be used in your agentflow as required.

Agentflow variable

Agentflow variables stores data and are used in actions within the agentflow. They can be manually created and defined when designing the agentflow and can be used to pass data from one action to other actions in the same agentflow. These variables are available in the agentflow tab of the Variables panel. For more information, see Create a variable.

Start event variable

These variables capture data from the agentflow start event. You can use these variables to reference data available in the associated start event. These variables are available in the Start event tab of the Variables panel. You cannot assign a different value to a start event variable once the agent starts. Depending on the Workflow start events you select, one or more of the following start event variables may be available.

  • Start event variables: These variables represent data related to the start event, such as an identifier for the selected object (app start events). For example, an object variable called agentflow initiator corresponds to the user who triggers the event to start the agentflow.

Agentflow object variable

These variables are output variables of agentflow connector actions and events. Use the object or its nested variables in other actions of your agentflow or in task forms. For example, use the output variable of one action in your agentflow as the input variable for another action. In task forms, you can use the data to populate a control, or you can drag and drop the variable on the designer canvas to display the data in your form. You can also use these objects in form rules and formulas.
