Static Variables (Local Variables)

Static variables are flow-agent only. They are set at the node level with fixed or templated values and are available to that node and its successors.

Characteristics

Scope: Node-level; visible to successor nodes
Where to define: In the node’s configuration
Value types: string, number, boolean, array, object
Templates: Values can use {{variable_name}} to reference other variables
Sync: Stored in the variable store so availability is tracked correctly

Supported Data Types

Data Type	Example Value	Use Case
`string`	`"Hello {{customer_name}}"`	Text with variable substitution
`number`	`42` or `{{max_attempts}}`	Numbers or references
`boolean`	`true` or `false`	Flags and toggles
`array`	`["option1", "option2", "option3"]`	Lists of values
`object`	`{"key": "value", "count": 5}`	Structured data

Example Use Cases

1. Computed / formatted messages

Variable: greeting_message
Value: "Hello {{customer_name}}, welcome to {{business_name}}!"
Data Type: string

2. Configuration objects

Variable: api_config
Value: {"timeout": 5000, "retries": 3}
Data Type: object

3. Default lists

Variable: available_options
Value: ["Schedule", "Cancel", "Reschedule"]
Data Type: array

4. Flags

Variable: is_premium_user
Value: true
Data Type: boolean

Static variables are not available in global nodes or in single-prompt agents. See Availability & Context and Extracted Variables for how they fit with other variable types.
