Variables (add_var)

The add_var function creates or modifies variables in the current workflow. Variables are used to store data between workflow steps.

Setting a Variable

In the function parameters, specify name-value pairs:

{
  "username": "{=tgData.from.first_name=}",
  "counter": "0",
  "greeting": "Hello, {=tgData.from.first_name=}!"
}

Each key becomes the variable name, the value becomes its content.

Value Types

• Text: "Hello"
• Number: "5", "3.14"
• Variable: "{=message=}"
• Template: "User {=username=} wrote: {=message=}"

Using in Subsequent Functions

Once created, the variable is available in all subsequent functions via {=name=} syntax:

Hello, {=username=}! Your counter: {=counter=}

Examples

  "user_id": "{=tgData.from.id=}",
  "user_name": "{=tgData.from.first_name=}"
}

Counter

  "counter": "1"
