SetVariable component

In Dovetail each flow has it's own environment variables, which makes it impossible to exchange variables with other flows. With global variables you can set variables that are available across all flows. These variables can be get by the GetVariable Component and removed by the RemoveVariable Component.

The SetVariable component can be used to put body and header information into global variables. You can chain multiple SetVariable components together to modify multiple global variables.

Configuration

The SetVariable component has the following configuration options:

Property	Description
Global Variable	The name of the global variable you wish to set
Value	The value you wish to set on the variable, when installed on test it sets the test value when installed on production the production value.
Encrypt?	If the variable could contain sensitive information you can choose to store it encrypted.

Remarks

• Value and Global Variable only supports #{<flow_variable>}, ${header.<headername>}, ${headers.<headername>} and ${bodyAs(String)} expressions.
