Event

What

A temporary variable created while a flow is running. It exists only for the duration of that flow.

Why

Useful for short-term data storage—like session IDs, one-time calculations, or intermediate results that don’t need to be saved after the flow ends.

How to use

  • Create them inside your flow steps.

  • Use to get the event properties as variable

  • Access them with {{event.variableName}}.

Example

You received an event trigger NewOrder with a property value = 74.32.

NewOrder {
"id": 453,
"value": 74.32,
"item": "Phone Case"
}

You want to calculate the amount before taxes (15%).

Create a new event variable event.orderValueBeforeTax:

event.orderValueBeforeTax = {{event.value}} / 1.15

Now your flow has:

  • event.value = 74.32

  • event.orderValueBeforeTax = 64.64

You can use these variables in a confirmation SMS, for example:

Hi {{contact.firstName}}, just to confirm your order #{{event.Id}}  
at the price of {{event.orderValueBeforeTax}} +tx  
for a total of {{event.value}}.
