The configuration variables feature allows developers to define and store variables as key-value pairs within the platform, and lets Administrators manage the values through the Web App Settings. These variables can then be used by other features, such as webhooks, triggered actions, and connected functions to ensure that values are not hard-coded.
An example of a typical configuration variable is a URL or access token/credential for integration to an external system. Developers can choose between "secret" or "plain text" when defining a variable. Secrets are stored encrypted and are never exposed to users. Plain text variables can be viewed and modified by Administrators.
Configuration variables can be used by:
- Triggered Actions
- Webhooks
- Connected Functions
