Learn how to use variables in Flowise

---

Flowise allow users to create variables that can be used in the nodes. Variables can be Static or Runtime.

Static

Static variable will be saved with the value specified, and retrieved as it is.

Runtime

Override or setting variable through API

If there is an existing variable created, variable value provided in the API will override the existing value.

    "question": "hello",
    "overrideConfig": {
        "vars": {
            "var": "some-override-value"
        }
    }
}
