Bot variables let you store and reuse information throughout your entire bot. Any information you assign to a bot variable will be accessible across all Workflows and conversations. This makes bot variables useful for storing global information about your bot, like:
  • Your bot’s name
  • Your bot’s version number
  • Endpoints for your bot’s API calls
Bot variables aren’t encrypted or stored securely. This means an Autonomous Node can read and display any information you store in a bot variable.Don’t save sensitive information like API keys or passwords in bot variables—use configuration variables instead.
