Variables
Overview
The variables in the Variables section can be reused across all steps and flows within your project. For example, if you need to automate a login process, you can store sensitive login credentials like username and password as project variables. Instead of manually entering these credentials in every API or UI step, you can reference them using {{username}} and {{password}}, ensuring consistency and simplifying maintenance.
By using project variables, you can easily update values in one place. If you need environment-specific values, for example, different credentials for development or production, you can configure Variables in Environments to manage these settings for each environment, making it easy to switch between them without modifying individual steps.
However, if a variable is not defined at the environment level, it will use the default value specified at the project level.
