What It Does
Stores data temporarily during flow execution. Think of it as a scratchpad that remembers info until the flow ends.
When to Use It
Collecting customer input (name, email, preferences)
Storing answers from User Input blocks
Marking that something happened (e.g., "Did they provide their name? → Yes")
How to Set It Up
Fields:
Column name: Name of the column (e.g., "customer_name")
Data: Value to store (e.g., {{lastMessage}} or "Yes", etc.)
Example:
Wait for user input message asks: "What is your name?"
Customer replies: "John"
→ Save in Flow Column
Column: customer_name
Data: {{lastMessage}}
Later in the flow:
Message: "Thanks, {{properties['customer_name']}}"
Pro Tip
You can reference for any column name the saved data later using {{properties['COLUMNNAME']}}.
