The Get Variable block

The Get Variable block retrieves the value of any variable defined by a Create Variable block anywhere in the flow. The Get Variable block then sends that value from its output port.

Output

Select a variable - When a variable is selected, this port sends the variable’s value.

Setup

You can add a Get Variable block directly to the canvas, or insert it inline within any block that takes variables as input. See Related blocks.

Select Select a variable and choose a variable from the dropdown list. The list is populated with variables created by Create Variable blocks in the flow.

A pin icon appears in any Get Variable block that you insert inline into a block that’s within a loop. To learn how variable pinning works, see Loops with external data.

Example

To see the Get Variable block in an example flow, check out Flow Snippets: Variables.

Any value that the Get Variable block can retrieve must first be defined by a Create Variable block somewhere in the canvas.

Numerous blocks allow you to insert the Get Variable block inline, including the Create with AI, Evaluate, If, List, Record, and Template blocks.
