Share data with Values

Create Values, insert them with $, and pass data between steps and Runs.

A Value is a named piece of data, such as a username, URL, or order number. The Value Store holds shared Values for your account. Flows can also store data while a Run is in progress.

Use the Flow Builder for this walkthrough.

Assets Values list with shared Values

Create a shared Value

1

Open Values

Go to Assets → Values.

2

Create the Value

Choose Create new value. Set a Title, Type, and Value.

Turn on Private value when the content should stay hidden after save. Private Values stay hidden in the UI after you save them.

For field detail, see Creating Values.

Insert a Value in a step

In supported fields, type $ to open dynamic values. Pick an account Value by Title, or a built-in Value such as $testEmail or $randomNumber.

Example: Set value (Action) on a username field with $USERNAME from Assets.

Capture data during the Run

Use Data Test Steps when the page itself produces the data you need next.

Test Step	Use it to
Set value (Data)	Write a Value into storage under a Storage Name
Store element text	Save visible text from an Element
Store element value	Save an input value
Store element attribute	Save an attribute
Alias value	Give an existing storage name a second name

Set value in the Data family writes to storage. Set value in the Action family fills a form field. They share a label and do different jobs.

Overwrite Values for a Run

Place	What it does
Run Recipes	Save filters and Value Overwrites you can reuse
Start Run dialog	Paste Value Overwrites for that Run
CI / CD	Pass Values on the webhook request
Schedules	Choose a Recipe that already includes overwrites

Use overwrites for environment URLs, credentials, and other inputs that change per Run without editing the Flow. See Value Store for which source wins when the same name appears more than once.

Pro tip: Keep environment URLs and credentials as Assets Values or Recipe overwrites, and keep one-off captures from the page in Data storage names. That split makes Flows easier to reuse.
