The Set feature allows us to create as well as modify a variable.
If the concept of a variable is totally abstract for you, I advise you to consult the following article before continuing: All about {{…}} variables.
1. Use
Among the construction features, click on “Variables” and then, in the menu that opens, click on “Set”.
Let’s start by creating a Set feature:
You have 2 choices:
- Choose an existing variable from the drop-down list to modify it.
- Create a variable by inserting the name of the new variable.
All you have to do is insert the value to be assigned to the variable.
When the bot performs this function, it will be completely invisible to the user.
It is also possible to give the variable the value of another existing variable by clicking on the icon {…}
We have created a variable with the name“myVariable” and the value“5”:
Let’s check that the operation works by asking the bot to display the value of the variable myVariable.
Let’s run the bot to see the result:
It is confirmed, our variable “myVariable” has the value 5. We can now manipulate it from any sequence in our bot.
TIP
To reset a variable already filled to 0, just put the name of the variable and as value put empty.
