Utility

Set Values

One place to name the values a run uses — the account, the search term, the environment.

util.set
The piece

Name the values this run uses — account, search term, environment — in one step, then reference them from later steps as {{ $Set Values.json.name }}.

Reach for it when

  • A template you want to re-point at a different environment by editing one step instead of six.
  • The same string appearing in three Input Text steps.

In the bag

Every setting this block has. A field marked only when appears once you have chosen the mode above it — those are alternatives to each other, not extra things to fill in.

  • ValuesRequired
    starts at user = qa@example.com search = wireless earbuds

    One "name = value" per line. Names take letters, digits and _ (that is how you reference them). true / false / a number are stored as such; quote a value ("0731") to keep it exactly as typed. Lines starting with # are notes. Values may contain {{ }} references to earlier steps.

Build it
  1. Write one name = value per line

    Names take letters, digits and _ — that is how you reference them later. Lines starting with # are notes, and a value can itself reference an earlier step.

  2. Know what gets stored as what

    true, false and numbers are stored as those. Quote a value to keep it exactly as typed — which is how a leading zero survives.

    what the step puts on the table
    • userqa@example.com
    • retries3 → a number
    • "0731"0731 → kept as text
  3. Reference them downstream

    Every later step can read them — an Input Text, a URL, a message, a condition.

What comes out
  • The named values, for any later step to reference.
Watch out
  • It is not a secret store. A password typed here travels with the workflow — use a credential field on the block that needs it.
  • A name with a space or a dash cannot be referenced. Underscores only.
