Referencing a local variable in a workflow in a script

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to call a local variable created within a workflow inside a script to create a condition. I know that a script can reference an attribute from a data schema and recognize its value, which you can use to create a condition, but am not sure if the workflow will function the same if it was a local variable that was created under its properties.

Hello @ryanng1 

 

You can define a variable by vars.VARIABLE_NAME command and then use it anywhere in your WF.

    Just a lil addition - if you want to use the variable within a split or something like that, you'd just have to use the following syntax in the expression editor: 

     

     

    $ - This is a string type value to be returned from the variable
    () - The info we are looking for
    vars - We’re looking at an event variable
    /@{name} - The variable

    The above info is for a event variable - if you wanted to access an instance variable, you’d just look at something like $(instance/vars/@variable)

    If you want the returned variable to be in a different format, you’d change the $ to:

    $long

    $float

    $boolean

    $datetime


    I'm referencing largely the top of this campaign standard page, but it works the same in Classic from my testing (please let me know if I'm wrong) :
