SetVariable component

With tenant variables you can use variables across all flows of a tenant. These variables can be retrieved by the GetVariable Component and removed with the RemoveVariable Component.

The SetVariable component can be used to set body or header data on a tenant variable. You can chain multiple SetVariable components together to set multiple tenant variables.
