These are variables that capture and store data from within the workflow or events, allowing users to map logic within workflows dynamically.

​
Accessing Variables

When configuring workflow nodes, users can access Dataslots by clicking on any Input Field in the node. This provides access to a wide range of variables, allowing users to select and utilize the appropriate data for their workflows.
Each variable is accompanied by its data type, displayed below the variable name.

​
Types of Variables

Users can search for variables in the Insert Variable section. Variables in Cobalt are of three types:

Nodes

Nodes represent data from nodes present within the current workflow. They enable users to access and utilize data generated by previous workflow nodes.
If you have performed a test execution of the nodes through Input/Output option, you will be able to see the fields generated in response of that node as variables in further nodes.
