Variable (Flow)

A named storage container in Zoho Flow that holds a value during flow execution, used to carry data between steps or accumulate values across loop iterations.

What Is a Variable in Zoho Flow?

A variable in Zoho Flow is a named container that stores a value during the execution of a flow. Variables allow you to save a piece of data at one point in the flow and use it later, pass data through conditions and loops, or accumulate values (like a running total) across loop iterations.

Variable Types

Zoho Flow supports string, number, boolean, and JSON variables. Variables are initialised with a value (from the trigger data, a literal value, or a calculation) and can be updated by subsequent steps in the flow.

Common Variable Uses

Set a variable to track a counter (increment it in each loop iteration to count processed records). Store a calculated value (total invoice amount) from one action step for use in a later step. Accumulate error messages across loop iterations into a single string for a notification email.
