Resolve Variables

Use this action when workflow or agent steps need values from your company variables — including secrets — inside CEL expressions.

Best for

  • Loading an API key before an HTTP request step, then using it as "Bearer " + myToken
  • Keeping credentials out of workflow definitions
  • Reusing the same configuration values across many workflows

Main fields

FieldWhat it does
EntriesThe list of variables to load. Each entry has a Variable Name that must match the name of a variable defined in your company

What later steps can use

This action does not create a separate step output. Each resolved variable is placed directly into the CEL context under its own name, so later expressions can reference it like any other value.

Example:

  • Load a variable named myToken
  • Use "Bearer " + myToken in a later HTTP header

Tips

  • Variables are created and managed in the AutoTalk app; this action is how workflow and agent runs read them. Values are stored encrypted and only decrypted at run time.
  • Variables marked as secret are automatically redacted in log entries.
  • A name that does not match any variable is skipped with a warning — the step itself does not fail, so double-check spelling when a later expression comes up empty.
  • Run this as one of the first steps (or as a pre-action) so the values are available everywhere after it.
