Template your variables

Refer back to answers already given in your flow.

Sometimes you want to refer back to answers already collected in your flow and display those answers to a responder. A common use case of this is calling the responder by their first name, or reminding them of a choice they had selected in a previous question. This is called templating variables.

How to do it in the Studio

• In this flow, I asked a Text question to ask the pet’s name, and I named the variable pets_name

• In my next two steps, I insert the answer variable pets_name from that question in double brackets.

You can always see a list of the variables you have available to you in the side bar under variables:

If you need to reformat the variables you collected, please refer to Templating formatting functions.

Use templated variables in redirect URLs and image URLs.
