Secret Variables are used to securely store and use sensitive data (e.g., API keys, tokens, passwords) within your workflows. They are encrypted and can be referenced in nodes like Custom Code and HTTP Request to ensure security and privacy.

​
Benefits of Secret Variables

  • Security: Sensitive data is encrypted and only accessible when necessary, avoiding exposure in your workflow.
  • Ease of Use: Secret variables can be easily inserted into nodes like HTTP Request and Custom Code with minimal setup, allowing for seamless integration.
  • Centralized Management: Secrets are stored in one place, and they can be reused across multiple workflows and nodes.

​
Managing Secrets

To securely store sensitive information, you can create Secret Variables as follows:
  1. Key: Enter a unique identifier for the secret (e.g., API_KEY).
  2. Value: Enter the sensitive data (e.g., an API token).
  3. Description (optional): Provide a brief description to clarify what the secret is for.
Once created, the variables are securely stored and can be used across your workflows. You can also edit or delete secret variables as needed.

​
Using Secret Variables in Nodes

Secret Variables can be inserted into nodes like Custom Code and HTTP Request to securely access sensitive information. Here’s how you use them:
  1. In nodes that support secret variables (like Custom Code or HTTP Request), you will see an Insert Secret Variable option.
  2. When configuring a node, click the button to select a secret from your list.
  3. The selected secret will automatically be inserted into the node’s configuration, ensuring secure access to sensitive data without exposing it in the workflow.
By using Secret Variables, you ensure that sensitive information remains protected while still being functional and accessible when needed in your workflow.
